artist's retrospective at the Fondation Beyeler, in 2001.
From September 11 through December 23, 2016, the Museum will display
over forty paintings and drawings
by the
artist, dating from his
Black Mountain College days to the late 1960s in Ray Spillenger: Rediscovery of a
Black Mountain Painter, an exhibition which reveals Spillenger's deep commitment to abstraction and passionate love of color.
Over the mantle is Andy Warhol's diamond - dusted,
black - and - white portrait of the German
artist Joseph Beuys, and abstract canvases
by two other blue - chip
artists, Gerhard Richter and Sigmar Polke, hang on the end walls.
Spanning the emergence of
Black feminism, debates
over the possibility of a unique
Black aesthetic in photography, and including activist posters as well as purely abstract works, the exhibition asks how the concept of
Black Art was promoted, contested and sometimes flatly rejected
by artists across the United States.
The exhibition features work
by over twenty
black artists and collectives working in 1980s Britain.
Over the years, a variety of writers and
artists (the comic was relaunched in 2016
by Ta Nehisi - Coates and Brian Stelfreeze) have built up a rich mythology around Wakanda, the country that
Black Panther defends and rules as king.
