Julie Mehretu is a mid-career survey that brings together nearly 40 works on paper and 35 paintings dating from 1996 to the present by Julie Mehretu. Co-organized by The Whitney Museum of American Art and The Los Angeles County Museum of Art, this retrospective of Mehretu’s career covers over two decades of her work that examines history, colonialism, capitalism, geopolitics, war, global uprising, diaspora, and displacement through the artistic strategies of abstraction, architecture, landscape, movement, and, most recently, figuration.
