Just a few days after re-opening, following more than three months of a second lockdown, the museum has announced a landmark gift of 31 paintings, sculptures, and drawings by 20 American artists from the prestigious Pamela J. Joyner and Alfred J. Giuffrida Collection, known for its extensive focus on abstract work made by artists of the African diaspora.
