Art and Race Matters: The Career of Robert Colescott is the first comprehensive retrospective of the compelling and controversial American painter Robert Colescott. Organized by Lowery Stokes Sims, curator emerita at the Museum of Arts and Design, and independent scholar Matthew Weseley, the exhibition surveys the range of Colescott’s artistic career, from his earliest abstractions to the colorful Valley Queen figures made in Egypt to the iconoclastic work of the 1970s and ’80s that secured his reputation.

We acknowledge our culture’s systemic marginalization of artists because of race, gender, religion, age, ability, sexual orientation, and/or immigration status among other factors. We actively seek to highlight the work of under-represented practitioners and support efforts to address entrenched inequities.
