Through the decades, the museum has stayed dedicated to exploring art by artists of African descent in a way that’s both “hyper local and super global,” as Thelma Golden, the museum’s chief curator explained during a press preview this morning. Over the years, the building expanded, but it wasn’t until this renovation that the museum secured a space expressly designed for art and community thanks to a $300 million fundraising campaign, along with designs by Adjaye Associates and architecture firm Cooper Robertson. In the color segment, you’ll get to see Louise Nevelson’s stunning, all-black sculpture Homage to Martin Luther King, Jr. Curators will rotate works in “From Now,” “offering new configurations as entry points into the social, political and environmental concerns of the Black diaspora,” chief program officer Natasha Logan explained.
