Mickalene Thomas has given us vivid and multifaceted artworks—paintings, collage, photography, video, and site-specific installations. Her work addresses our common perceptions of beauty, sexuality, celebrity, and politics, and expands and subverts these notions in original and complex ways.

The subject of a major international tour that began at The Broad in Los Angeles in May of 2024, and travels to The Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia on October 20, and culminates at The Hayward Gallery in London from February 11 to May 5, 2025, Mickalene Thomas has assumed her rightful place in the pantheon of the most important, original, and inspiring artists of the 21st Century.

Our Presenter: Popular speaker Janet Mandel is a retired NJ public school teacher who taught high school art history for many years. This is a Zoom Program please email refdesk@mmt.mainlib.org for the code. Presented by Main Libraries.
