LORNA SIMPSON — DARKENING

Until her exhibition of an ink and acrylic work—True Value, 2015—at the 56th Venice Biennale, Lorna Simpson had not painted for over thirty years. Her return to the medium was again seen last year in the show Unanswerable at Hauser & Wirth in London.

The gallery’s New York exhibition LORNA SIMPSON—DARKENING features the artist’s ink and screenprint paintings from 2018, and this year’s Source Notes.

LORNA SIMPSON IN CONVERSATION

This week at the Whitney, Lorna Simpson and Elizabeth Alexander will discuss the artist’s new book LORNA 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.
