About Jean Shin
Jean Shin (b. 1971) is known for her expansive and often public sculptures, transforming accumulations of discarded, everyday objects into powerful monuments to consumption, identity, community, labor, and ecology. Born in Seoul, South Korea, and raised in the U.S., Shin is currently based in New York. Her work has been widely exhibited and collected in over 150 major museums and cultural institutions, including solo exhibitions at The Museum of Modern Art in New York; Philadelphia Museum of Art; Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, DC; and Asian Art Museum in San Francisco, where in 2020 she was the first Korean American woman artist featured in a solo exhibition. Shin has received numerous awards, including the Frederic Church Award for her contributions to American art and culture. Her works have been highlighted in The New York Times and Sculpture Magazine, among others.
Her body of work includes several permanent public artworks commissioned by major agencies and municipalities, including a landmark commission for the MTA’s Second Ave Subway in NYC. She is a tenured Adjunct Professor at Pratt Institute and holds an honorary doctorate from New York Academy of Art. Her piece for the 2023 Armory Show Huddled Masses, organized by the curator Eva Respini and presented by Boston’s Praise Shadows Art Gallery, was called a “standout” by The New York Times. Shin works in Brooklyn and Hudson Valley, New York.

Feeling Color: Aubrey Williams and Frank Bowling
2025-03-15 - 2025-07-27 | Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, 3200 Darnell St., Fort Worth, TX, 76107, United States
Feeling Color: Aubrey Williams and Frank Bowling, organized by the Modern and Curator María Elena Ortiz, celebrates the work of these two artists and their contributions to the story of abstract painting in the late twentieth century. Williams (1926–90) and Bowling (b. 1934) migrated from British Guiana (now Guyana) in South America to European and American cities in the 1950s, escaping social upheavals in their native country. Expanding on the international legacies of abstraction that are among the Modern’s central concerns, these artists’ works show that, even in moments of despair, art creates a space for refuge, reckoning, and imagination. This exhibition puts both artists in conversation, illustrating Williams’s powerful commitment to investigating abstract forms and Bowling’s painterly and experimental approach. Williams was Bowling’s elder, and together their works provide an opportunity to reflect on the power of art and abstraction in the twentieth century.
Feeling Color presents Bowling’s influential Map series, 1967–71, and his later poured paintings, which evidence sociopolitical concerns and explore the materiality of paint. Williams’s works include examples from two painting series, Shostakovich, 1969–81, and The Olmec-Maya and Now, 1981–85, alongside other paintings and drawings. These works reflect the artists’ histories by combining modernist abstraction with imagery derived from African diasporic dwellings and the Indigenous cultures of South America, each pointing to the complexity of their postcolonial heritage. These are works that embrace color, movement, experimentation, and abstraction to convey human emotion.
Aubrey Williams, born in British Guiana, is an important figure in British postwar painting, representing an approach toward abstraction that incorporates cross-cultural and transatlantic conversations. Originally trained as Agricultural Field Officer in Guyana, Williams moved to London in the 1950s to study engineering but changed course, earning an art degree from the St. Martin’s School of Art. The artist travelled extensively throughout Europe, created works in Jamaica and Florida in the 1960s and 1970s, and eventually settled in London until his death. Awarded the Commonwealth Prize in Painting by Queen Elizabeth II in 1965, Williams was a founding member of the 1960s Caribbean Artists Movement in London. His works have been exhibited internationally and are included in several prestigious collections in the US and Britain.
Frank Bowling OBE RA was elected to Britain’s Royal Academy in 2005 and was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 2008. He is a pivotal figure in British abstract painting, contributing to the canon for over six decades. Born in British Guiana, Bowling migrated to London in the 1950s to study art. Eventually, he moved to New York City, keeping art studios in both cities. In New York, he cultivated a community that included critic Clement Greenberg and like-minded artists such as Jack Whitten and Al Loving Jr. His work has been exhibited widely and is part of prestigious collections around the world.

Modern Art and Politics in Germany 1910–1945
2025-03-30 - 2025-06-22 | Kimbell Art Museum, Kimbell Art Museum, Camp Bowie Boulevard, Fort Worth, TX, USA, Fort Worth, TX, United States
In the first half of the twentieth century, Germany experienced the last years of the German Empire, World War I and the revolution that followed, the liberal Weimar Republic, the rise of National Socialism and Adolf Hitler, the Holocaust, and World War II. Modern art played an important role in the discourse of the period, while politics influenced the arts.
This exhibition brings together more than seventy paintings and sculptures from the collections of the Neue Nationalgalerie, the distinguished modern art museum of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin. It traces the German experience in the visual arts over four decades. Beginning with the Expressionist reaction and opposition to the conservative artistic regime of Kaiser Wilhelm II, the exhibition includes works by such figures as Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Emil Nolde, Otto Mueller, and Max Pechstein. The Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity) movement typified the modern style of the 1920s, represented by painters including Otto Dix, Kurt Günther, and Christian Schad. Between the wars, exposure to the abstraction of Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, and Pablo Picasso influenced the German artists Gabriele Münter, Lyonel Feininger, Hannah Höch, and Oskar Nerlinger. Painters and sculptors including Wilhelm Lehmbruck, Käthe Kollwitz, and George Grosz issued strident challenges to society; their voices would be silenced under the Nazis. And response to Hitler’s repression of modern art and political opposition came from Max Beckmann, Karl Hofer, and Horst Strempel. Modern Art and Politics in Germany 1910–1945, organized by the Neue Nationalgalerie, Berlin, concludes with an epilogue that examines the ambiguous aftermath of World War II.

David-Jeremiah: The Fire This Time
2025-08-16 - 2025-11-22 | Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, 3200 Darnell St., Fort Worth, TX, 76107, United States
The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth presents David-Jeremiah: The Fire This Time, organized by Guest Curator Christopher Blay.
The body of work on view in this exhibition is a group of vertical assemblages of black and other polychromatic paintings on shaped wood that form an installation. The twenty-eight works stand over ten feet tall. This primary configuration surrounds viewers completely.
Fire is a major motif in David-Jeremiah’s work. Figuratively, fire is the crucible through which the artist has passed. For his practice, David-Jeremiah conceived of binders full of work, operating in a conceptual space that defies any self-imposed rules made from the comfort of most artists’ studios. Birthing new modes of self-reflective determination and urgency, David-Jeremiah brings the fire this time, incinerating what has come before to propose something new. His maximalist approach to art-making feeds the flames and its towering paintings. This is a purifying, refining fire—a disruptive, controlled burn that course-corrects the trajectory of conceptualism. It is fire.
In his artistic practice, David-Jeremiah engages with the ritualistic context of fire and flame. Whether it is in his 2019 painting Hamborghini Rally: Soul Hunt City (‘68 Semipro), or the last in the series of his I Drive Thee tondo paintings manifesting its soul over the flames of an incinerator for a succession of urns in L’Anima, 2023 (part of his 2024‒25 exhibition at the Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, Massachusetts), the flames are there. In the presentation at the Modern, his paintings-as-figures bask in the glow of embers that we, the viewers, create. David-Jeremiah’s work resides at the edge of the fire, and we see our faces and selves reflected back in the flickering flames.

American Modernism from the Charles Butt Collection
2025-09-07 - 2026-01-25 | Amon Carter Museum of American Art, 3501 Camp Bowie Blvd., Fort Worth, TX, 76107, United States
In September 2025, the Amon Carter Museum of American Art (the Carter) will present the first exhibition dedicated to the collection of businessman, philanthropist, and Texas native Charles Butt. Bringing together over seventy-five works, American Modernism from the Charles Butt Collection, presents and recontextualizes the multifold histories of American art by sharing Butt’s vision of American creativity and opening his collection to the public for the first time. American Modernism from the Charles Butt Collection premieres at the Carter on September 7, 2025 where it will be on view through January 25, 2026 as the first stop on a multi-city tour at institutions throughout Texas. The exhibition includes paintings and works on paper from the turn of the twentieth century through the end of the 1970s and features works by American modernist icons including Romare Bearden, Edward Hopper, Joan Mitchell, Alice Neel, Georgia O’Keeffe, Alma Thomas, and Andrew Wyeth, among others, many of which have never been publicly viewed. Reflecting Butt’s commitment to education and his keen entrepreneurial eye, his collection embodies a distinctly American commitment to technical, conceptual, and aesthetic innovation.
