On view ICAphiladelphia from July 12 through December 7, 2025, “Mavis Pusey: Mobile Images” marks the first major museum survey to explore Jamaica-born artist and educator Mavis Pusey’s (1928-2019) prolific 50-year career. In partnership with StudioMuseum, where the show will travel in Spring 2027, this comprehensive retrospective offers an expansive reexamination of Pusey’s impact on abstraction and beyond.
An important figure in geometric abstraction, Pusey created rich abstract paintings and works on paper that reflect her wide-ranging engagement with fashion, printmaking, and the urban environment of cities in which she lived. Despite her international presence in the art world, Pusey’s work has largely remained overlooked. This comprehensive retrospective is the culmination of over a decade of research and collaboration and offers new insights into the artist’s life and work.
