Fraenkel Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition by Carrie Mae Weems featuring new work as well as highlights from several key series in the artist’s four-decade-long career.

The exhibition continues Weems’s long exploration of questions about power, history, and identity. Two new photographs from Weems’s ongoing Museum Series depicting San Francisco’s Legion of Honor will be on view for the first time, shown with other selections from the project. Large-scale photographs from Painting the Town
present boarded-up storefronts in Portland, Oregon following protests against the murder of George Floyd. Other works reference earlier moments in the struggle for racial justice, including scenes from Civil Rights protests in the 1960s.
