Sun 20 September
King's College
Engaged in an ongoing dialogue with six centuries of representational painting, Kerry James Marshall (b. 1955) is known for his expansive body of work, which also includes drawings and sculptures. At the center of his oeuvre is the critical recognition of the conditions of invisibility long ascribed to Black figures in the Western pictorial tradition, and the creation of what he calls a "counter-archive" that brings them back into this narrative.
The largest survey of the artist's work in the United Kingdom to date, "Kerry James Marshall: The Histories", was presented at the Royal Academy of Arts, London, in 2025. The exhibition will travel to Kunsthaus Zürich and Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris through 2027.
