Museum Exhibition
Basquiat, the Blue Ribbon Paintings, and the Art of Reproduction
NOW OPEN
Jean-Michel Basquiat is embraced as one of the artists who defined the 1980s; this exhibition platforms one of his essential but less-known series—the Blue Ribbon paintings—and his incorporation of reproductive media to understand him in a new and compelling light.
Assembling nearly all of Basquiat’s known print projects, the exhibition focuses a lens on Basquiat as a conceptual artist, probing identity, reproduction, and visibility in an increasingly commercialized art world.

Takeda Hideo’s Genpei: Defying Authority
NOW OPEN
With an acerbic sense of humor and a bold graphic style, Takeda Hideo (b. 1948) has an international reputation for exaggerated, erotic aesthetics.
This exhibition re-situates Takeda’s series within his career as a satirical cartoonist and in relation to a broader tendency to challenge outdated stereotypes and hypocritical values amid a wave of social and political upheaval in late twentieth-century Japan.

Clay Has Memory: Creative Lineages from Africa
NOW OPEN
The exhibition brings together works by historical, modern, and contemporary artists who draw on and preserve intergenerational knowledge through their practices. Referencing the long history of ceramics in Africa, these artists harness the potential of craft traditions and the vitality of clay to establish new relationships to place and shared histories.
As the first exhibition to focus on African Diasporic artistic practices organized by the Princeton University Art Museum, Clay Has Memory foregrounds the techniques, memories, and innovations contained within ceramic vessels and sculpture and centers the contributions of ceramic artists—in particular the impact of women—in fostering connections across geographies and generations.
