Carrie Mae Weems

Fraenkel Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition by Carrie Mae Weems, her second since joining the gallery in 2021. Selections from the artist’s ongoing Museum series will be on view, including two new works picturing a Bay Area arts institution. The exhibition also marks the West Coast debut of Painting the Town, a series depicting painted and boarded-up storefronts in Portland, Oregon, following protests against the murder of George Floyd. Other works reference earlier moments in the struggle for racial justice, including scenes from Civil Rights protests in the 1960s.
