Coinciding with the artist\u2019s 70th birthday, the exhibition presents a stunning display of over 70 works, including a new series of paintings created especially for the show.<\/p>\n<p>Unfolding across 11 thematic and stylistic sections, The Histories guides visitors through the formal and conceptual evolution of one of America\u2019s most influential living artists. Highlights include the early and enigmatic \u201cA Portrait of the Artist as a Shadow of His Former Self\u201d (1980); the emphatic \u201cThe Academy\u201d (2012)which figures life drawing model holding a Black Power first high; and \u201cKnowledge and Wonder\u201d (1995) a monumental commission for the Chicago Public Library that is being loaned for the first time.\n<\/p>\n<p>Marshall\u2019s practice interrogates the canon itself, confronting the historical erasure of Black subjects in Western art and political history. Working primarily in series, the artist examines pivotal eras such as the Middle Passage, Civil Rights and Black Power movements, while honoring everyday scenes of Black life, looking to barbershops, parks, porches and studio spaces as sites of visibility and resilience.\n<\/p>\n<p>Kerry James Marshall: The Histories will open on September 20 and will remain open through January 18, 2026.
