Raymond Saunders: Flowers from a Black Garden moves freely across the artist’s career, taking as its point of departure Saunders’s position as a consummate student and passionate teacher of painting. Through over 30 works, including important institutional loans, the exhibition investigates his multifaceted and nonlinear process of picture-making, which carries forward, in reference and reverence, myriad histories and languages of art.
“Our grantees range from small arts organizations with one staff member to major museums, yet they all provide essential resources for artists as well as innovative platforms for critical cultural dialogue. Creative risk-taking is at the heart of this country’s most meaningful social, political, and cultural developments, therefore we are proud to stand behind artist-centered organizations that support experimental practice.”
Joel Wachs, President
