Beyond the Harlem Renaissance
Keith de Lellis Gallery celebrates the portraiture of Carl Van Vechten (American, 1880–1964) in its spring exhibition. Van Vechten had a lifelong interest in African American culture and was committed to promoting black artists. In the early 1920s, Van Vechten sought out countless key figures in the rising Harlem Renaissance. Van Vechten became a familiar sight in predominantly black spaces, attending formal NAACP banquets as well as Harlem nightclubs and speakeasies.

Bill Armstrong | Falling Through History—An Online Exclusive Exhibition
“Falling Through History” is a series of photographs that transforms falling figures appropriated from the history of western art, from ancient Greece to the present. Armstrong sees modern parallels, writing “I think that even before the advent of Coronavirus, there was a sense that the danger of political instability might be greater than we could anticipate, and that hubris was playing out on a huge scale. Now it seems there is something biblical about this reckoning with a modern day plague.”
