African American Art in New York City Galleries

Two Exhibitions from Early 2008

From Shelley Esaak, About.com


As Beth Gersh-Nesic so aptly states in her review Beyond February: African American Art in New York, "Good things come in small packages, especially in commercial galleries these days." Dr. Gersh-Nesic is referring specifically to the exhibitions African American Art: Two Hundred Years at Michael Rosenfeld Gallery (on view January 10-March 15, 2008) and Jacob Lawrence: Moving Forward at DC Moore Gallery (February 13-March 22, 2008), both of which she had the pleasure of touring in person.

With kind assistance and permissions from both galleries, we here offer exhibition highlights for your viewing enjoyment.
