North Carolina Museum of Art presents solo exhibition of North Carolina artist Beverly McIver

RALEIGH, N.C.- Reflections: Portraits by Beverly McIver is an exhibition celebrating McIver’s prodigious work from the past decade, highlighting her renowned, emotive self-portraits and portraits of her family. Opening December 11, 2011 in the North Carolina Gallery, the exhibition will be free to the public and on view through June 24, 2012. “Beverly McIver’s work is remarkable in its own right, but the timing of Reflections with Rembrandt in America is particularly illuminating, as both exhibitions examine self-portraiture in some way,” said Jennifer Dasal, curator of the exhibition. “McIver’s portraits of herself and her family offer an opportunity for visitors to experience her world view as an African American, a caretaker, a daughter, and a woman.” McIver, a Greensboro native whose first solo show was in 2003, is recognized as a significant presence in contemporary American art.
