Raymond Saunders: Flowers from a Black Garden

Members Event
Sunday, April 6, 9 a.m. – Noon
Carnegie Museum of Art

Raymond Saunders: Flowers from a Black Garden is the artist’s first retrospective exhibition at a major American museum and the most comprehensive consideration of his practice to date.

Since the 1960s, artist Raymond Saunders (b. 1934) has developed a painting practice rooted in improvisation. Working across mediums, he combines everyday objects, found imagery, drawing, notational markings, and text in constellated compositions that blend abstraction and figuration against the complex backdrop of American history.

Join us for a special look at the exhibition and an opportunity to socialize with fellow members over light bites and refreshments. Reserve your tickets today.
