The Studio Museum In Harlem

“The Studio Museum in Harlem is the nexus for black artists locally, nationally, and internationally, and for work that has been inspired by black culture. It is a site for the dynamic exchange of ideas about art and society.”-SMH
This Museum right around the corner from my hood, is a mecca of African American, Carribean, and African Art. It currently houses Barkley L. Hendricks: Birth of the Cool that features many of Hendricks’s lesser known, older works and his newest pieces, small plein air studies of the Jamaican landscape.
Also it houses, VideoStudio which is a new, ongoing series of video and time-based art.
Here are some more pieces that have been showcased at the Studio Museum in Harlem.
