Kerry James Marshall in London

Описание: Kerry James Marshall is an internationally acclaimed artist and is one of the most important painters working right now.

In this video captured in the exhibition we can see Kerry James Marshall vivid and mostly large-scale paintings which places the black figure at the front and centre. Marshall builds upon the Western tradition of classical, historical and figurative paintings, but he makes visible and re-writes the ideals and concepts of black joy and beauty as a visual reclamation and affirmation of the representation of black arts and cultures.

This exhibition of his paintings is the largest outside of the US, and the first chance for many to experience his works in London, UK.

The exhibition presents to the public 70 works including his monumental commission from the City of Chicago Public Art Program and the Chicago Public Library, Legler Regional Library, Knowledge and Wonder (1995), which has never been loaned before.

The new exhibition called The Histories at The Royal Academy of Arts London, was on from the 20 September (2025) to 18 January (2026).

The exhibition is organised by the Royal Academy of Arts London, in collaboration with the Kunsthaus Zurich and the Musée d'Art Moderne, Paris.
