In Platemark s3e20, host Ann Shafer talks with Kimberli Gant, curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Brooklyn Museum. While Kimberli’s specialty isn’t in prints per se, she is one of those unusual non-print curators who likes and appreciates prints and incorporates them into her projects. Among many projects, her work on Jacob Lawrence and his time in Nigeria led to the exhibition, Black Orpheus: Jacob Lawrence and the Mbari Club, which traveled to the Chrysler Museum, the New Orleans Museum of Art, and the Toledo Museum of Art, and unlocks an area of Lawrence’s oeuvre that has been overlooked. If you missed the exhibition, Kimberli's beautiful catalogue is worth acquiring.  Episode image: Andar Sawyers Judy Chicago (American, born 1939). The Dinner Party, 1979. Mixed media.
