Congratulations to American painter Barkley L. Hendricks, who recently won the Rappaport Prize, an annual art award of $25,000 presented by the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum through the Phyllis & Jerome Lyle Rappaport Foundation. It's not the first honor in Barkley's five-decade career, and it won't be the last. We look forward to seeing Barkley's work in our upcoming exhibition, Southern Accent: Seeking the American South in Contemporary Art.
