Kara Elizabeth Walker presents Dispatches from A— and the Museum of Half-remembered Histories

Kara Walker is acclaimed for her sophisticated yet provocative imagery, deeply rooted in established pictorial traditions. Across various mediums, such as painting, sculpture, filmmaking and her renowned cut-paper silhouettes, Walker’s body of work scrutinizes themes of race, gender, sexuality, and violence, showcasing a profound exploration of societal complexities and positioning her as a preeminent figure among contemporary American artists. At Sprüth Magers, Berlin, Walker will debut new cutout collages in vibrant ink and watercolor. Presented on a grand scale akin to history paintings, these works build upon her iconic monochromatic silhouettes by harnessing the power of formal composition, texture and color.
