Gaines reflects on his mother's collection of Jet magazines, presenting them as 'windows onto another, wider world-a world suffused with dignity, respect, [and] a healthy dose of glamour'.
Despite the fire damage to the Russo Lee Gallery, director Athena Frazier highlights the broader impact, stating, 'losing half a year... is huge' for the gallery and artists.
The gallery's closure not only leads to financial hardships but also halts the exhibition of significant works, affecting up to a dozen shows scheduled over several months.
The restoration work for Gaines's show and the gallery's entire archive will preserve the integrity of the art, but the loss of exhibition time significantly impacts the artists' progress.
