The Metropolitan Museum of Art has acquired Serena Perrone’s work “A Volcano Pilgrim in Exchange for Fire” (2010). The piece was purchased from the Cade Tompkins Projects using the John B. Turner Fund. “Thanks to the support of Cade Tompkins Projects, I am pleased to see this series of prints enter the permanent collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, where I hope it will be enjoyed by generations to come and the words of the late poet Craig Arnold will continue to reach new audiences,” Perrone said.
