Free entry.

The film Kehinde Wiley: An Economy of Grace follows the artist as he embarks on an exciting new project: a series of classical portraits of African-American women – something he’s never done before. The film documents the project as it unfolds, tracking Wiley’s process from concept to canvas, casting his models on the streets of New York and enlisting Riccardo Tisci of Givenchy to create couture gowns for each woman. The film offers a tantalizing look at the intersection of art and fashion and an intimate portrait of one of his generation’s most intriguing and accomplished visionaries.

The Kehinde Wiley: An Economy of Grace will be preceded by the short film "Kehinde Wiley: Lamentation" by Sylvie Boulloud
