Artist Joyce Scott and Amy Raehse of Goya
Please join us on Wednesday, August 28, 1:00 pm for an online program on works on paper by artist Joyce Scott with the artist herself and Amy Raehse of Goya Contemporary Gallery (Baltimore).
MacArthur Fellow, Dr. Joyce J. Scott (b. 1948, Baltimore, MD) is best known for her figurative sculpture using bead weaving techniques, blown glass, and found objects. As an African- American, feminist artist, Scott confronts difficult themes as diverse as her subjects which include race, misogyny, sexuality, stereotypes, gender inequality, economic disparity, history, politics, violence, and discrimination.
Joyce Scott is also a printmaker. An installation of 30 of her works are on view at Goya Contemporary until September 2. The exhibition allows visitors to dive into Scott’s printmaking history, with works she has made across the United States with a number of presses and master printers including early pulp paper works from the 1980’s produced with Helen Fredrick at Pyramid Atlantic. More information about the Goya Contemporary exhibition is available here.
Scott and her work have been the subject of countless scholarly books and articles, and she has received numerous awards and prestigious honors. Scott is represented in the collections of major museums worldwide including the Baltimore Museum of Art and Seattle Art Museum, which co-organized her 50-year retrospective.
Amy Raehse is executive director and partner at Goya Contemporary Gallery. Raehse has worked in the museum, gallery, and academic sectors of the arts. A writer, educator, independent curator, and specialist on the work of Dr. Joyce J Scott, Raehse has authored catalogue essays and scholarly articles. She is also a trustee at the International Fine Print Dealers Association as well as Trustee of the IFPDA Foundation.
