Mastry
Nasher Artist in the News: Kerry James Marshall
Congratulations to Chicago artist Kerry James Marshall, whose major solo show Mastry is on view this summer at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago.

Listen to an interview of Kerry James Marshall by Tyler Green on The Modern Art Notes Podcast.

We are proud to loan an important work to Chicago from the Nasher Museum's collection, a painting that the artist signed after he delivered the Annual Rothschild Lecture here in 2012.

IMPACT
@NasherTeens IMPACT party!
Our first ever Nasher Teens party was a huge success! Teens from the Triangle collaborated with local artists, danced and performed spoken word and step. A sudden downpour drove the outside performances by four teen bands inside the museum, where they rocked the house. Check out our Facebook album!
