The exhibition, and its accompanying catalog Young, Gifted and Black: A New Generation of Artists capture what it means-in the words of Lorraine Hansberry and Nina Simone-to be young, gifted and Black in contemporary art. Boccuzzi, the exhibition is co-curated by writer and curator Antwaun Sargent and artist Matt Wycoff. Drawn from the highly regarded private collection of Bernard I. The exhibition includes works in a variety of media from artists Derrick Adams, Caitlin Cherry, Bethany Collins, Deana Lawson, Kerry James Marshall, Jennifer Packer, Paul Mpagi Sepuya, Mickalene Thomas, Chiffon Thomas, Lynette Yiadom-Boakye, and 40 others. Gallery 400 at the University of Illinois Chicago reopens this fall with Young, Gifted and Black: The Lumpkin-Boccuzzi Family Collection of Contemporary Art, a nationally traveling exhibition of works by Black artists. Including the work of 50 artists in two successive generations of Black artists, Young, Gifted and Black is a timely exhibition of the lines of lineage and association in contemporary Black artists’ explorations of social relations, sexuality, gender, identity, abstraction and much more.
