ON VIEW

Pearl Lines
Walter Price

Price’s paintings are distinguished by his engagement with history, race, and cultural consciousness. While he uses distinct references, he also denies any clear articulation of specific events in his imagery. His canvases burst with lush, vivid colors, pulling viewers into his psychically charged interior worlds in which everyday objects, figures, and domestic environments emerge from swaths of thick color and tangles of lines, marks, and symbols.

Featuring more than 20 paintings, the exhibition is organized around recurring themes and imagery that the artist has explored in recent years. The presentation features selections from significant bodies of work produced between 2017 and 2023, providing visitors the opportunity to experience a full range of his works on canvas.

Overshare

Sophie Calle

Bad break-ups, messy choices, secret obsessions: Sophie Calle can relate.

For the past five decades, the French conceptual artist has mined her own life to provocative effect. Drawing on intimate relationships and chance encounters, Calle’s work has anticipated the personality-driven, voyeuristic nature of contemporary culture. Comprising photography, text, video, and installation work, Sophie Calle: Overshare marks the first North American survey to display the breadth and depth of Calle’s artistic career.
