I hear with great interest that Betye Saar’s highly mystical yet political works are being shown in a roving exhibition starting at LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art) this September 2019 then on to MoMa in October. Earlier this year Saar’s gallery, Roberts Projects in Los Angeles, screened “a little-known 1977 documentary about the artist, Spirit Catcher: The Art of Betye Saar, as it gears up for the 92-year-old artist’s increasing international attention.” #jasmineweber 24.4.19 hyperallergenic.com Betye Saar is a visual griot and challenger of stereotypes on African/American identity. Her objet assemblage draws my attention to her compatriot and sister warrior Faith Ringgold, whose work I was able to view, currently gracing the space at Serpentine Gallery London - remarkably her first solo in a European institution.
