Join us for the debut of the 09.1 Hudson (Show)Room exhibition featuring New York-based artist Kehinde Wiley. His paintings depict African-American men from the streets of New York City in paintings that adopt the conventions of Old Master portraits. His conflation of art historical tradition and contemporary subject matter makes for oddly familiar and vibrant works of art. On view through May 3.
