Today Executive Director/Curator Carrie Johnson talks a bit about Kerry James Marshall’s pieces in our Permanent Collection. We were lucky to have 5 limited edition relief prints on paper that were purchased and donated as a gift from the ‘Friends of Rockford Art Museum’ group in the late 1990’s. “Born in Birmingham, Alabama, before the passage of the Civil Rights Act, and witness to the Watt’s riots in 1965, Marshall has long been an inspired and imaginative chronicler of the African American experience.” (MCA Chicago)

We are excited to exhibit these pieces in our upcoming summer show!
