Art and Race Matters: The Career of Robert Colescott

Art and Race Matters: The Career of Robert Colescott (1925-2009) is the first comprehensive retrospective of one of America’s most compelling and controversial artists.

In his large-scale paintings, Colescott confronted deeply embedded cultural hierarchies involving race, gender, and social inequality in America with fearless wit and irony.Advisory: This exhibition contains mature content including nudity — and uses the language of visual and verbal stereotype to critique and expose racism and sexism in American culture.

Admission is free.
