The late businessman, philanthropist and art collector Eli Broad was drawn not only to Pop art, but also to Pop art created by white men: Jasper Johns, Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Ed Ruscha, John Baldessari and Jeff Koons most prominently among them.
But when The Broad welcomes the public into its galleries on May 26 for the first time in more than a year, guests will notice several visible signs of an evolution.
In signage at the start of a new exhibition dedicated to art made in response to trauma and upheaval, the Broad states: “As we strive for racial justice, we must acknowledge how far we are from achieving this goal, as a museum and as a society.”
The resulting exhibition, titled A Movement in Every Direction: Legacies of the Great Migration, will open at the MMA in April 2022 and at the BMA in October 2022.
The historic phenomenon known as the Great Migration saw more than six million African Americans leave the South for cities across the United States at the start of the 20th century and well into the 1970s. This incredible movement of people transformed nearly every aspect of Black life, in both rural towns and urban metropolises. The impact of the Great Migration spurred a flourishing Black culture and also established a new cadre of artists, writers, musicians, and makers. With this project, the co-organizing institutions bring together a group of intergenerational artists with ancestral ties to the South to research and reflect on their personal histories and migration narratives through the lens of their contemporary practices.
