Artists are representing the black subject, even if relatively small in total percentage. The messages are many as are the objectives of those making the art. For the readers, artists and patrons, the question now becomes one to ask ourselves, what is our relationship to black subjectivity? what do we want to see? and how are we supporting it?
My wish would be for a greater diversity and larger platform for black art to exist and for it to be as desirable and marketable as other art forms. Only time will tell...
Enjoy these last images from the Armory Show.
