Join Albright-Knox Curatorial Assistant Jasmine Magaña for a discussion of the exhibition Shade: Clyfford Still / Mark Bradford.
For the exhibition, Bradford has helped select more than twenty paintings from the Albright-Knox's important collection of works by Still. In adjacent galleries, Bradford presents a group of his own paintings—created specifically for this exhibition—that manifest an ongoing conversation with both Still’s abstractions and the broader legacy of Abstract Expressionism.
While this talk is free, museum admission is required to view this special exhibition.
Another gallery talk on Shade: Clyfford Still / Mark Bradford will take place at 7:30 pm.
