This exhibition features a selection of seminal works by major Black artists alongside additional works by a vanguard of emerging and mid-career Black artists, all drawn from the Cleveland Museum of Art’s collection. Through a series of provocative thematic vignettes in the Julia and Larry Pollock Focus Gallery and a set of temporary installations in the permanent collection galleries, powerful and suggestive juxtapositions invite audiences to forge new artistic, social, political, and intellectual connections across time and geography, with Black art, artists, and thinkers at the core.
Currents & Constellations: Black Art in Focus
“I love uniforms! Because if there’s nothing there, clothes are certainly not going to make the man. It’s better to always wear the same thing and know that people are liking you for the real you and not the you your clothes make.”
The Philosophy of Andy Warhol (From A to B & Back Again)
