The Nasher show features mostly sculptures, but also paintings and works on paper. The MAMFW show features Bates’ paintings. Bates’ work has been the subject of numerous museum exhibitions, including most recently the 2010 “The Katrina Paintings” at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art in Kansas City.
