    Let’s Have a Talk: Black Artists from the CMA Collection

    Bringing together a multigenerational group of 15 Black artists working in and around abstraction, Let’s Have a Talk pushes against longstanding expectations that work by Black artists must present a clear message about their racial identity and experience, and it celebrates their crucial, yet often dismissed, role in abstract art.

    Keith Haring: Radiant Vision

    Keith Haring (1958–1990) emerged as a shooting star of the New York art scene in the 1980s. His simply drawn figures turned Haring into one of the best-known artists of his generation. Radiant Vision is a collection that features over 250 original works including drawings on paper, lithographs, silkscreens, posters, and other items that illustrate the entire span of Haring’s short but prolific career.
