Join ArtTable for a tour of Mickalene Thomas: All About Love on the East Coast debut of this major international survey of Thomas’ work. Meet us in the galleries of the Barnes Foundation, where ArtTable member Nina Diefenbach, The Barnes’ Senior Vice President and Deputy Director for Advancement will provide an introduction to the exhibition. At 3:45, our 60-minute tour with Nancy Ireson, Deputy Director for Collections & Exhibitions and Gund Family Chief Curator at The Barnes, begins.

About the exhibition: Mickalene Thomas: All About Love is the first major international tour focused on the work of pioneering artist Mickalene Thomas (American, b. 1971), whose influences range from 19th-century painting to popular culture. All About Love is co-organized by the Hayward Gallery, London, and The Broad, Los Angeles, and in partnership with the Barnes and Les Abattoirs, Musée–Frac Occitanie Toulouse. The Barnes presentation of All About Love showcases a selection of vivid artworks—paintings, collage, photography, video, and site-specific installation—that celebrates Thomas’s distinctive artistic practice from the late 2000s to the present day. Her work is characterized by spectacularly staged, rhinestoned, large-scale painted tableaux and bold, intimate compositions, decisively foregrounding Black femininity in abundant realms of visual pleasure, agency, and kinship. Whether in imaginative dialogue with canonical works from the history of art or playfully reckoning with popular culture, Thomas’s exuberant portraits offer an empowered vision of beauty and desire, formulated through a sensual, Black feminist lens. The Barnes presentation is curated by independent curator and scholar Renée Mussai.

About the Artist: Mickalene Thomas (b. 1971, Camden, New Jersey) is one of today’s most influential artists. Her innovative practice has yielded instantly recognizable and widely celebrated aesthetic languages within contemporary visual culture. Thomas completed her MFA at the Yale University School of Art in 2002 and a residency at the Studio Museum in Harlem in 2003, and soon became known for her large-scale acrylic paintings of Black women in states of leisure and repose. Her confident and assured subjects are often depicted in domestic interiors from Black America, claiming the agency of womanhood while deconstructing the art historical canon. Outside of her core practice, Thomas is a Tony Award–nominated co-producer, curator, educator, and mentor to many emerging artists. Thomas’s work has become an undeniable force within the contemporary art world and an indispensable inspiration to younger generations of artists. She lives and works in New York.

You’re invited to our next MeetAT networking event on December 11 in Dallas, Texas, graciously hosted by Cris Worley, Owner and Director of Cris Worley Fine Arts. Join us for an evening of light refreshments and engaging conversations with fellow ArtTable members and prospective members.

Cris Worley Fine Arts is a contemporary art gallery established in 2010 in Dallas, TX. Cris Worley Fine Arts is dedicated to promoting innovative work by contemporary artists at various stages of their careers. The gallery’s dynamic approach to fostering artistic growth includes the presentation of compelling exhibitions, and collaborations with public institutions, professional art organizations, and collectors, both locally and internationally.

For over two decades, Cris Worley has contributed to national art dialogues as a gallery director participating in art fairs, as a guest juror for numerous exhibitions, and as an esteemed art advisor. As a charter member of the Contemporary Art Dealers of Dallas, Cris Worley has played a vital role in the vigorous growth of the Dallas arts community, encouraging the evolution of contemporary art collections.

For this event, the gallery will feature present their eighth solo exhibition of oil paintings by Paul Manes. The exhibition entitled, Into the Woods, opens Saturday, November 16, and will be on view through December 28. Whether it be the differing color palettes of the landscape images or the wall of rain or the bowls falling upon one another, Manes’ new works seem to be a random smattering of subjects across his oeuvre. Yet, in this new show, the artist invites us to see how his subject matter has been affected through his own experiences.

Manes’ new work reflects his own physical move from New York City to Colorado a decade ago. Manes traded the concrete jungle for a sky of stars, and that location shift has changed his subject matter. In this new show, Manes has moved from the sky to the landscape, where he interacts with different elements and environments that he sees every day. Many of the works depicted reflect images of meadows and plants, and Manes’ large canvases and use of perspective allow for us all to step into this world he lives in daily. Every new painting acts as a window into another world – one where we get to see landscapes through the lens of the artist. Suddenly, we are alongside Manes on his motorcycle ride from home to the studio through the Colorado mountains.

Join curator Renee Maurer on a one-hour guided tour of The Phillips Collection, exploring Breaking It Down: Conversations from the Vault plus access to the exhibition Creative Aging. In connection with Breaking It Down‘s examination of the history of collecting at the Phillips, inseparable from its founding mission of using the arts to support healing and community-building, the tour will introduce us to the museum’s current cutting-edge education programs.

Leaders in championing the independent-minded artist, Duncan and Marjorie Phillips gave many their first museum exhibitions and acquisitions. This presentation offers a deep dive and new take on several artists who are cornerstones of the collection, including Georges Braque, Richard Diebenkorn, Arthur Dove, Sam Gilliam, Paul Klee, and Georgia O’Keeffe, alongside a growing collection of works by trailblazers of our time, including Sean Scully, Sylvia Snowden, Renée Stout, Joyce Wellman, and more.

Following an introduction by Alexa Kaye, Director of Major & Leadership Gifts at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, our tour with a Friends of the Kennedy Center volunteer guide will explore its visual arts collection, its interdisciplinary community engagement programs, and its long history of championing the arts’ vital role in American civic life. Following the 75-minute tour, join us for Dutch Treat drinks at the Kennedy Center’s Roof Terrace Restaurant, hosted by Jessica L. Porter, the Lila Harnett Executive Director of ArtTable.

Visual art spans the entire Kennedy Center campus, from performance and reception spaces to the REACH, the Kennedy Center’s innovative home for community programs and its first expansion since it opened in 1971. Reflecting its role as the National Cultural Center and a living memorial to President John F. Kennedy, the Center is home to over 88 works of art, presented as diplomatic gifts from 36 countries and counting and displayed in the Center’s grand public spaces. Throughout the REACH’s indoor and outdoor performance and education spaces, designed by architect Steven Holl, works by Roy Lichtenstein, Deborah Butterfield, and Joel Shapiro welcome audiences and invite cross-pollination between the visual arts, theatre, dance, and music. The interactive exhibition Art and Ideals: President John F. Kennedy, the newest addition to the Kennedy Center campus, explores the importance of the arts to the Kennedy Administration’s diplomacy and its vision for the civic life of the United States. Art and Ideals also covers the establishment, design, and construction of the Kennedy Center and highlights many of the incredible performances that have graced its stages over the past five decades.

Accessibility Note: Given the vast size of the Kennedy Center campus, guests are advised to wear comfortable shoes and be prepared to walk for the better part of an hour. While there may be some stairs on the tour route, the tour guide can adjust the itinerary to an accessible route. The tour will make multiple stops, with seating available at some of the stops.

You’re invited to our upcoming MeetAT networking event on September 19, graciously hosted by Pace Gallery’s Los Angeles location in Mid-Wilshire. Enjoy light refreshments while catching up with fellow ArtTable members and making new connections.

Exhibition on view: Torkwase Dyson: Here

Pace Gallery Los Angeles will present an exhibition of new paintings by Torkwase Dyson as part of the Getty’s PST ART: Art & Science Collide Participating Gallery Program.

The show will further explore ideas about the environment, architecture, infrastructure, and black space that are central to the artist’s practice. In her work across painting, sculpture, performance, film, and drawing, Dyson uncovers continuities between ecology, infrastructure, and architecture through a language of abstract, poetic forms. Her two- and three-dimensional abstractions grapple with the ways in which space is perceived, imagined, and negotiated—particularly by black and brown bodies—to examine histories of human geography and black spatial liberation strategies

Pace is a leading international art gallery representing some of the most influential artists and estates of the 20th and 21st centuries, founded by Arne Glimcher in 1960. Holding decades-long relationships with Alexander Calder, Jean Dubuffet, Agnes Martin, Louise Nevelson, and Mark Rothko, Pace has a unique history that can be traced to its early support of artists central to the Abstract Expressionist and Light and Space movements. Now in its seventh decade, under the leadership of CEO Marc Glimcher and President Samanthe Rubell, the gallery continues to nurture its longstanding relationships with its legacy artists and estates while also making an investment in the careers of contemporary artists, including Torkwase Dyson, Loie Hollowell, Robert Nava, Adam Pendleton, and Marina Perez Simão. Pace advances its mission to support its artists and share their visionary work with audiences and collectors around the world through its exhibitions of both 20th century and contemporary art and scholarly projects from its imprint Pace Publishing. Today, the gallery has eight locations globally, including New York, Los Angeles, London, Geneva, Hong Kong, Seoul, and Tokyo.

HEMPHILL was founded in Washington DC in 1993. The exhibition schedule features modern & contemporary art in all media by artists ranging from emerging to mid-career to modern masters.

HEMPHILL’s Fall 2024 season opens with an exhibition of new paintings by Rush Baker IV (American, b. 1987). Baker’s abstractions interleave the visual ephemera of Civil War-era photography, maps, and print media with layers of pigment, resin, and a contradiction of translucent and solid materials. Baker received a BFA from The Cooper Union for Advancement of Science and Art in 2009, and an MFA from Yale University in 2012. Baker is a recipient of the 2024-25 Grant Wood Fellowship at The Grant Wood Art Colony of the University of Iowa.
