“As a person and as an artist, Boris was ingeniously creative, in the sense of both imaginative and productive.
Foregrounding his life—his biography, belongings, voluminous writings, his surroundings, even his library—in concert with his early artwork reveals a more nuanced portrait of the artist than ever before,” says Guest Curator Sara Softness. “Beyond his immensely expressive artistic talent, the exhibition really considers his devastating emotional life and how he existed in the world—all inescapably informed by his trauma.”
The exhibition will run through April 29.
