About This Exhibition: A Superlative Palette brings together the work of twelve generation-defining, contemporary Black women artists from around the world. In the realm of contemporary art, the contributions of Black women artists have been transformative, challenging traditional narratives, and enriching the cultural landscape. Their powerful and thought-provoking work has not only redefined artistic expression, but has also played a significant role in advocating for social justice, equality, and empowerment. Black women artists have historically faced marginalization and underrepresentation within the art world. Despite these obstacles, they have persevered and crafted an artistry that encompasses a diverse range of themes, mediums, and styles. Artists in the exhibition include, Nina Chanel Abney, ruby onyinyechi amanze, Lauren Halsey, Rachel Jones, Toyin Ojih Odutola, Jennifer Packer, Calida Rawles, Deborah Roberts, Tschabalala Self, Amy Sherald, Mickalene Thomas, and Lynette Yiadom-Boakye.
