Bill Hodges Gallery was established in 1979 by Bill Hodges. The gallery’s collection ranges from 19th-century Black artists like Henry Ossawa Tanner to Harlem Renaissance legends like James Van der Zee to modernist, abstraction icons like Norman Lewis, Jacob Lawrence, and Romare Bearden and contemporaries like Carrie Mae Weems, Kehinde Wiley and more.No one knows this genre better or has been at it longer than Mr. Hodges, who’s been showing Black artists since the mid-1970s. Finally, the artists in this museum-quality display have recently come to be rediscovered, re-evaluated, recognized, and saluted by museum curators and collectors, as being among the leading painters of the 20th and 21st century. This world-class pavilion booth presents extraordinary works by artists of color such as Sam Gilliam, Edward Clark, Jacob Lawrence, plus Mickalene Thomas, Adam Pendleton, Carrie Mae Weems, Kerry James Marshall, Kara Walker, and others.
