Dawoud Bey: Harlem, USA, and Harlem Redux

Exhibition Website

Jan 13 2018 - Apr 11 2018

Dawoud Bey (born 1953) is distinguished for his commitment to portraiture as a means for understanding contemporary society. Raised in Queens, Bey and his family had roots in Harlem, and it was a youthful visit to the exhibition Harlem on My Mind at the Metropolitan Museum of Art that gave him the determination to become an artist. This exhibition, 39 years later, still takes viewers on a journey through this historic neighborhood.
