Faith Ringgold

Over the course of six decades, American artist, author, and activist Faith Ringgold (b. 1930) has worked in a variety of media and modes—from quilts and paintings to performance and children’s books—to depict the beauty and complexity of the African American experience.

Faith Ringgold is a survey exhibition organized by Serpentine Galleries, London. More than 70 works on view highlight the artist’s range and include paintings, story quilts, and political posters, and feature nine works from Glenstone’s collection.

Note: Glenstone will publish an expanded second edition of the Serpentine’s 2019 catalogue, which is now available for pre-order. Starting today and through the run of show, all proceeds from Faith Ringgold-related sales on the website and at Glenstone’s Bookstore will be donated to the artist’s visual arts non-profit organization, the Anyone Can Fly Foundation.

The Anyone Can Fly Foundation’s mission is to expand the art establishment’s canon to include artists of the African Diaspora and to introduce the Great Masters of African American Art and their art traditions to children and adult audiences.
