Other than being a longtime professor of studio art at Connecticut College, the late Barkley L. Hendricks (1945–2017) is thought of as one of the most revolutionary Black American portrait artists, particularly for his work in the late 1960s and into the 1970s. A new exhibition that displays some of his portraits, Barkley L. Hendricks: Portraits at the Frick, is now on view at Frick Madison, the temporary home of The Frick Collection. It's the first show ever dedicated to a Black artist at the Frick. Curators Aimee Ng and Antwaun Sargent join to discuss the show and the importance of the artist. Barkley L. Hendricks: Portraits at the Frick is on view through January 7, 2024.
