Discussion | Elizabeth Catlett and the Ralph Ellison Memorial: Public Art in Context
John T. Reddick of the Ralph Ellison Memorial Committee teaches about Elizabeth Catlett’s only public work, located in Riverside Park. The Brooklyn Museum is currently exhibiting the first major retrospective of Elizabeth Catlett’s career. Catlett's only public commissioned work sought to honor author Ralph Ellison in Riverside Park near where he and his wife Fanny lived. The efforts of Harlem residents in partnership with the Riverside Park Conservancy resulted in the funding for the Ralph Ellison Memorial and the selection of Catlett's sculpture "Invisible Man." Reddick and panelists host an informative discussion of the Ellison Memorial in the context of Catlett's career, engagement with the Harlem community, and identity as an artist. Refreshments will be provided in the Library afterwards. Panelists include: Dalila Scruggs, Catlett scholar (the Augusta Savage Curator of African American Art, the Smithsonian American Art Museum) Ken Smith (the Ellison memorial project's landscape architect) Francisco Mora, Jr. (son of Elizabeth Catlett)
