Beauford Delaney in New York, NY

I saw such amazing art on my last trip to New York, that I came home and was sort of frozen by the volume, and the challenge of finding time to share is all with you. As I get ready to head back to New York, I’m going to try to sprint and do a bit of catch up.

Be Your Wonderful Self: The Portraits of Beauford Delaney is one of the best portrait shows I’ve seen. The exhibition is at the Michael Rosenfeld Gallery in Chelsea.

After I saw the show I read this great review in the New York Times by Roberta Smith.

The Beauford Delaney show runs through December 23, 2021. If you are in NYC, you really must go. I’m definitely going back.
