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.
