Rumors of War is a monumental sculpture by renowned artist Kehinde Wiley, unveiled in Times Square, New York City, on September 27, 2019. Standing 27 feet tall and 16 feet wide, the statue features a young Black man confidently steering a horse, serving as a powerful commentary on Black identity and history in America.
This significant public artwork is part of Wiley's broader exploration of masculinity and power within the context of equestrian portraiture, and it aims to challenge the legacy of Confederate monuments. After its display in Times Square until December 1, 2019, the sculpture will travel to Richmond, Virginia, where it will stand in defiance of the city's Confederate memorials.
