WALTER PRICE in Collection: 1970s–Present
Museum of Modern Art, New York | Gallery 209

Price’s 2020–21 painting Races on the Sea is now on view in MoMA’s gallery 209, in a group presentation titled “Objects of Desire.”

From the museum:

“Touching on themes of legibility and identity, the artworks in this gallery pose the question: What roles do desire and history play in how we understand and recognize each other? Drawing from literary texts, personal narratives, and references from the past, the artists on view here transform their sources to consider the promise of human relationships and reflect on the pain of fraught histories—particularly around Blackness. These acts of transformation open up a spectrum of experiences, as well as invite viewers to bring their own desires to the experience of looking."
