Washington DC.- The Corcoran Gallery of Art and College of Art + Design is proud to present “30 Americans”, a wide-ranging survey of works by many of the most important African-American contemporary artists of the last three decades. By bringing seminal artistic figures together with younger and emerging artists, the exhibition explores artistic influence across generations and sheds light on issues of racial, sexual and historical identity. Often provocative and challenging, “30 Americans” at the Corcoran explores ideas central to the American experience. “30 Americans” is on view at the gallery from October 1st through February 12th 2012.
