The Studio Museum in Harlem will move forward decisively while honoring our past with these revelatory exhibitions," Thelma Golden, the museum's director and chief curator, said in a press release. "Through the life and career of Tom Lloyd, whose solo exhibition inaugurated our Museum in 1968, we reencounter an artist who was years ahead of his time in both his ideals and artistic practice. Now, thanks to other artists, scholars, and our Curator, Connie H. Choi, his work is coming to light.
For its first show, the Studio Museum will present the work of the late sculptor Tom Lloyd; it's a full-circle moment as his work was part of the institution's opening back in 1968. Another debut show will draw from the museum's vast collection, underscoring the museum's role as a steward of art by artists of African descent.
