Call it the new face of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. The dramatic 24-foot head now dominates the sculpture garden at the public art museum on the Boulevard. Titled “Chloe,” the sculpture is the creation of Spanish artist Jaume Plensa, who will be at the museum Thursday, April 27, for the dedication. The museum commissioned the contemplative work that is made of polyester resin and marble dust placed over a stainless-steel frame. “Chloe” is one of a series of heads that Mr. Plensa has created for museums in the United States and overseas, and defines the VMFA’s ambitions to commission national and international artists to provide new works for the nearly 4-acre E. Claiborne and Lora Robins Sculpture Garden.

Bringing Henrietta Lacks to life Oprah Winfrey stars as Deborah Lacks, the daughter of the title character in the HBO film “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks” that premieres 8 p.m. Saturday, April 22, on HBO. Mrs. Lacks, a Virginia native who moved her family from their Halifax County tobacco farm in 1941 to Maryland, was a cancer patient at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. She died in 1951 not knowing that her tumor cells, now known as HeLa cells, were harvested by hospital researchers and duplicated for use even today by scientists for medical testing around the world. The HBO movie is based on the best-selling book about Mrs. Lacks and her unknowing and uncompensated contribution to the world. Actress Rose Byrne, left, portrays the book’s author, Rebecca Skloot, in the film.
