KERRY JAMES MARSHALLl
"Along the Way"
This is the first exhibition in Britain by Kerry James Marshall, one of the most innovative and influential American artists of his generation.

With a medley of sources from comic books, graffiti and western art and mythology, his work also references the Civil Rights movement. Curated by Deborah Smith and organised by Camden Arts Centre in association with BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art, The New Art Gallery Walsall and Modern Art Oxford. Kerry James Marshall, Scout (Boy), 1995, Collection Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, Partial and promised gift from the Lewis and Susan Manilow Collection of Chicago Artists.

OTHELO DE SOZA
