Gallery Talk | Gallery Tour: Romare Bearden: A Black Odyssey


In 1977, Romare Bearden (1911-1988) created a cycle of 20 collages and watercolors (miniature variations of his collages) based on Homer’s epic poem The Odyssey. Rich in symbolism and allegorical content, Bearden’s “Odysseus Series” created an artistic bridge between classical mythology and African-American culture. The works conveyed a sense of timelessness and the universality of the human condition, but their brilliance was displayed for only two months in New York City before being scattered to private collections and public art museums.

Opening Reception | An Exhibition of New Work by Indonesian Artist Entang Wiharso


Internationally acknowledged as one of the most significant of his generation, this will be the artist's first gallery exhibition in New York. Wiharso speaks with a heightened sense of urgency, through many mediums: painting, sculpture, video, installation, and performance. The artist’s own experience living in both Indonesia and the US are deeply embedded in this body of work. Through this lens he examines the political and cultural landscape of his country. At its core is a deep understanding of the human condition. Upon viewing this work one is compelled to question the dipoles of love and hate, spirituality and ideology and different cultural perspectives. Often ambiguous, his work suggests a much larger and richer narrative. Entang Wiharso was born 1967 in Tegal, Central Java, Indonesia. He studied painting at the Fine Art Department of the Indonesian Institute of Arts, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. He currently lives and works in Yogyakarta, Indonesia and Rhode Island, US. In 2013, he one was of five artists representing Indonesia in the 55th Venice Biennial.
