Theaster Gates ‘Black Panther with Stars and Yellow Sky’ (2024) ⁠ Extending his artistic and honorific employment of roofing materials in his sculptural work, Gates expands the vocabulary of his ongoing ‘Tar Paintings’ series by introducing the visual lexicon of the archive, notably the iconography of the Civil Rights era and the symbology of Black liberation movements - such as the OOAU and the Black Panther Party - drawn from his stewardship of the Haruhi Ishitani archive.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ 🔗 Click the link in our bio to view this work and explore White Cube’s Art Basel Miami Beach presentation online. ⁠ Image: Theaster Gates, ‘Black Panther with Stars and Yellow Sky’, 2024. © Theaster Gates.
