“Certainly an Act: Works on Paper by Pope.L” is now open at the until September 27th. The show brings together more than 200 works-many never before publicly exhibited-ranging from the early 1980s to the artist’s final years. Drawn primarily from the artist’s estate, the exhibition also encompasses drawing-based films, writings, archival materials, and audio drawings.

In the gift shop you will find a reading room installation with 100 books from our collection!

If you’re in New York this summer make sure you stop by! 🖤

Dawoud Bey & Carrie Mae Weems: In Dialogue
Our lovely intern agreed to be a hand model for a few book photos. She just finished her second week and we’re so excited to have her on board! We hope she’s able to learn a lot this summer at the library. She will be helping us get the space ready to welcome you all in very soon. 🖤
