Episode No. 86 of The Modern Art Notes Podcast features artist Kerry James Marshall.
Tomorrow the National Gallery of Art opens “In the Tower: Kerry James Marshall,” an exhibition that explores Marshall’s Great America (1994), which the NGA acquired in 2010. It will be on view through December 7.
This fall, Marshall will be the subject of a career survey organized by the Museum of Modern Art in Antwerp. Titled “Kerry James Marshall: Painting and Other Stuff,” the exhibition will travel to the Kunsthal Charlottenborg in Denmark, the Antoni Tapies Foundation in Barcelona, and to the Reina Sofia in Madrid. Last fall he created new work for an exhibition at the Secession in Vienna titled, “Who’s Afraid of Red, Black and Green” (see more images). In 2010 the Vancouver Art Gallery organized the only North American survey of his work.
Air date: June 27. 2013.
