JACQUELINE HUMPHRIES on view in Legacy Traces: Recent Additions to the Museum Collection

Newcomb Art Museum, Tulane University, New Orleans
Jan 18–Jun 1, 2024

The exhibition Legacy Traces features a selection of artworks acquired over the past decade, a majority of which were collected in the last five years. This installation marks the campus debut of twenty-one works, and considers how the museum’s acquisition practices have evolved in step with the institution’s growth and global trends in art.

Throughout the exhibition, artists reference architecture and design to create spaces of common ground. Andy Warhol, Jacqueline Humphries, and James DeWoody reorient familiar symbols into abstractions. Legacy Traces asks: Whose stories are being told? What themes and histories are being centered? How are artists shaping our feelings of belonging?
