----Generations: A History of Black Abstract Art---- at the BMA

On Sunday, September 29, the Baltimore Museum of Art will open a huge new exhibition of works by contemporary African American artists. It’s called “Generations: A History of Black Abstract Art.” It includes nearly 80 works, many of which are part of the single most important and extensive collection of Black artists in the world. That collection belongs to Pamela J. Joyner and Alfred J. Giuffrida, and just yesterday, the BMA announced that Ms. Joyner and Mr. Giuffrida were donating some of their collection to the museum permanently. You can see a few examples of works from the ----Generations---- exhibition in the slide show above.
