The late artist Robert Colescott (1925–2009) is most known for his 1970s satirical renditions of famous paintings to demonstrate the absence and lack of recognition of black people in art and cultural history. Today, The New Museum presents a new retrospective of the artist's work, called, Art and Race Matters: The Career of Robert Colescott, which is on view until October 9. Curator Lowery Stokes Sims and Raphaela Platow, former director and chief curator of the Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati when the Colescott show was organized there, joins us to discuss Colescott's legacy and why his art matters.
