The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth Presents FOCUS: Stanley Whitney, January 21-April 2, 2017

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

December 2, 2016 

Fort Worth, TX

Lorna Simpson

Since the beginning of her career in the mid-1980s, Lorna Simpson has been well known for her conceptual photographs and videos that challenge historical and preconceived views of racial and sexual identity. The artist will speak on the occasion of FOCUS: Lorna Simpson, the first museum exhibition to feature the artist’s large-scale acrylic, ink, and silkscreened paintings.

A video recording of this lectures will be available on the Modern's Youtube.

Carlo McCormick

Unlike most famous artists, KAWS has something few in visual art actually enjoy: rabid fans who wait on line for days just to see what his latest project will be. What makes this even more noteworthy is that he himself is a fan, subject to the same process of collecting stuff as a way of constructing one's identity as the kids around the globe who fetishize his work.
