A summer walk isn’t complete without a trusty parasol.
RH Quaytman at Glenstone
“It is a political kind of endeavor to interpret art history; I couldn’t have done those paintings without art history. What I do and this way of painting comes out of that.”- #RHQuaytman
We just released our newest artist interview with painter R.H. Quaytman. An exhibition of paintings by R.H. Quaytman, organized in close collaboration with the artist, is on view in the Gallery through this summer. Head to our YouTube channel to hear more from Quaytman herself, who shares the inspiration behind her practice, her endless curiosity about the history of art, and her deep love of literature.

Studio Museum Announces 2022-2023 cohort for Artist-in-Residence program
The @StudioMuseum in Harlem recently announced the 2022-2023 cohort for its signature Artist-in-Residence program. Please join us in congratulating this year’s cohort of Artists in Residence: Jeffrey Meris, Devin N. Morris, and Charisse Pearlina Weston! These three artists will be the first cohort to benefit from another recent development—Glenstone Foundation has endowed Studio Museum’s Artist-in-Residence program in perpetuity.
The Studio Museum’s foundational Artist-in-Residence program gives emerging artists of African and Afro-Latinx descent an unparalleled opportunity to develop their practice in an eleven-month residency. Alumni of the program, who now number nearly 150, include some of today’s most significant and innovative artists.
Glenstone is honored to support this vital program.
For more on Studio Museum’s Artist-in-Residence program and this year’s artists, visit @StudioMuseum on social media or at studiomuseum.org!

Jeff Wall in conversation with Michael Fried
“I never thought that there was such a thing as old art, even as a child I remember thinking that art that I was impressed by was happening at that moment. It didn’t really matter when it was made, it came to life again at that moment.“ — Jeff Wall

Jeff Wall at Glenstone Museum
“Pictures, by nature, suspend narrative... I see the viewer as a writer: the viewer narrates. People are telling themselves stories, and the stories connect to them personally, which is why the work means something to them. We can relate to these things.” —#JeffWall

Arthur Jafa at Glenstone Museum
“As peoples of African descent, we powerfully embody who we are. Not just a thing that’s as beautiful as we are, but a thing that’s as troubled as we are, that’s as under pressure as we are— I’m trying to make things that do that. That have the qualities that those things have. I mean, that’s the bar for me.” —

Glenn Ligon on “Warm Broad Glow II”, 2011
“Black joy exists now and historically, despite the history of this country. There is such a thing as ‘negro sunshine,’ ‘negro joy,’ ‘Black joy.’”—Glenn Ligon
Glenn Ligon’s text-based works draw on literary passages and speeches of 20th Century cultural figures. “Warm Broad Glow II” (2011), on view in the Passage, reads “negro sunshine,” a phrase Ligon discovered in Gertrude Stein’s novella, “Three Lives”: “Rose laughed when she was happy but she had not the wide, abandoned laughter that makes the warm broad glow of negro sunshine.”
In this video, Ligon discusses both the origins of “Warm Broad Glow II” and his practice more broadly, touching on his process and how a fabricator once answered him when Glenn asked, “Can you make a black neon?”
