Join us for a book signing with Carole M. Genshaft, Curator-at-Large at the Columbus Museum of Art and editor of Raggin’ On.
MacArthur Award recipient Aminah Robinson was recently featured in The New York Times in Overlooked, a series about remarkable people whose deaths the newspaper initially overlooked. Regarding the artist’s chronicling of Black Life, Kwame Opam states, “[Robinson] believed that life for her people in America was an act of near-superhuman perseverance, and she was determined to capture that history in every medium she could.”
Masterworks offers a breadth of work illustrating this range. In addition to early drawings, on view for the first time, will be two special mixed-media works: Aminah’s Blackberry Patch, a multi-part folio dedicated to her son Sydney, and the Presidential RagGonNon dedicated to former President Barack Obama. Alongside Aminah’s work will be works by Don “DonCee” Coulter, the first recipient of the Aminah Brenda Lynn Robinson Fellowship.
The Aminah Brenda Lynn Robinson Fellowship is administered by the Greater Columbus Arts Council
