  • Renowned contemporary artist Kerry James Marshall is known for his paintings, drawings and sculptures that are rich with art-historical references, from Renaissance painting to American folk art. The Nasher Museum acquired Marshall’s seminal early work, Portrait of the Artist & a Vacuum, still one of the museum’s most exciting acquisitions to date. The painting is pivotal in telling the story of Marshall’s development as an artist and reveals a number of defining motifs that appear throughout Marshall’s noted career.
