The Whitney’s collection of the drawings, prints, and collages of Louise Nevelson is now on view at the museum, in an exhibition organized by curatorial assistant Clémence White.
This week at the Whitney, Lorna Simpson and Elizabeth Alexander will discuss the artist’s new bookLORNA SIMPSON COLLAGES.
“Using advertising photographs of black women (and men) drawn from vintage issues of Ebony and Jet, Simpson’s collages explore the richly nuanced language of hair—as Alexander writes in her introduction: ‘Black women’s hair are galaxies unto themselves, solar systems, moonscapes, volcanic interiors.’ ”*
After the Q & A, Simpson will sign books.
