Robert Blackburn Passages

Opening Reception: Robert Blackburn: Passages

David C. Driskell Center for the Visual Arts and Culture of African Americans and the African Diaspora Thursday, September 18, 2014 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm

Curated by Deborah Cullen, Director & Chief Curator, The Miriam & Ira D. Wallach Art Gallery, Columbia University. The first comprehensive retrospective exhibition of influential artist and master printmaker Robert Hamilton Blackburn (1920-2003): Robert Blackburn: Passages. Passages features about 90 works by Blackburn and additional 10 works by his contemporaries such as Charles Alston, Will Barnet, Grace Hartigan, Robin Holder, and Norman Lewis. Blackburn’s “passages” through the modern and contemporary print world are complex and unique, and he is a bridge between the Works Project Administration (WPA) and the “print explosion” of the 1960s.
