Kerry James Marshall
American, b. 1955

One of the most lauded figurative painters working today, Kerry James Marshall challenges the marginalization of African Americans with canvases that both revere and subvert the Western canon. The artist’s extensive knowledge of art history, including Black folk art, contributes to the formal rigor of his compositions. His subject matter derives from Black culture and stereotypes, as well as his own life experience. Marshall’s paintings often explode with color, while their central protagonists are always painted with deep, unequivocal black pigments. He received a MacArthur Fellowship in 1997 and has exhibited at Documenta and the Venice Biennale, as well as in major exhibitions at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the National Gallery of Art. On the secondary market, Marshall’s work regularly sells for seven figures. The artist also makes drawings, videos, and installations.
