Williams College Museum of Art is proud to exhibit ‘City Sitings’. Previously at the Detroit Institute of Arts, this show brings together 12 of the artist’s monumental paintings. Mehretu’s compelling canvases re-envision urban experience and rewrite narratives of exclusion, reconciling divergent histories through her expansive, dynamic compositions. Inspired by community, history and the built environment, Mehretu's paintings engage viewers in her vision of the metropolitan landscape.
The artist will be at WCMA on Thursday April 24 at 6pm to discuss her work.
