With a prolific career marked by innovation and experimentation, Sam Gilliam is one of the most celebrated postwar artists and the first Black artist to represent the United States at the Venice Biennale. Sam Gilliam: Printmaker examines his decades of work exploring prints, featuring vibrant compositions that combine elements of collage, assemblage, and sculpture.

Let’s Have a Talk: Black Artists from the CMA Collection considers the pivotal, though often obscured, role of Black artists in abstraction in the 20th and 21st centuries. See the work of 15 artists including drawing by Bing Davis, sculpture by Sanford Biggers, photography by Carrie Mae Weems, and more.
