ABOUT HOWARDENA PINDELL: WHAT REMAINS TO BE SEEN
Howardena Pindell: What Remains to Be Seen traces the themes and visual experiments that run through the New York–based artist's five decades-long career, featuring early figurative paintings, pure abstraction and conceptual works, and personal and political art that emerged in the aftermath of a life-threatening car accident in 1979. The exhibition also showcases Pindell's work with photography, film, and performance—mediums she has used to explore her place in the world—as well as works from the last two years, which draw on the beauty and innovation of her approach to abstraction to build upon contemporary conversations around equity and diversity.
