“Black Vessel” is Theaster Gates’s first solo exhibition in New York City. Following the artist’s exploration of his own history, art history, and the racial ideology of the Black diaspora, the show includes works that push the boundaries of painting and sculpture—including creations like racial justice-focused Civil Tapestries; Walking Prayer, where the artist has rebound historical books; and the experimentally sculptural Brick Reliquaries.
