Announcing Kara Walker exhibition – Coming Spring 2025!

  Announcing our Spring 2025 exhibition,  Kara Walker: Harper's Pictorial History of the Civil War (Annotated) .   Kara Walker re-inks American history by reinterpreting 15 illustrations from  Harper’s Pictorial History of the Civil War , a pro-Union two-volume history published in 1866 and 1868, overlaying them with bold, black cut-paper silhouettes of African American figures. By juxtaposing these stark, superimposed images with historical depictions of the Civil War, Kara Walker invites viewers to confront complex caricatures and engage in a deeper reflection on the racial narratives embedded in American history.   Kara Walker is regarded as one of the most innovative and important living American artists, whose art, often described as “exquisite,” “ingenious” and “triumphant,” delves deeply into themes of history, identity, and power dynamics.   Tickets for this exhibition go on sale in mid-November 2024. Stay tuned for more information to come! Sign Up For Early Access The tou
