A new exhibition at the Athenaeum of recent works on paper by internationally acclaimed American artist Kara Walker, examining themes such as complicity, racism, misremembered histories, and the violence that undergirds the legacy of the South.
The Athenaeum, the University of Georgia’s downtown contemporary art space, was awarded a $60,000 Fall 2022 grant from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts to support the exhibition Fabienne Lasserre: Listeners, marking the gallery’s first time receiving this prestigious award.
The Athenaeum is thrilled to present Kara Walker: Back of Hand, the first solo exhibition to be held in Georgia of the work of this internationally renowned artist.
