An SFMOMA Exhibition Exclusive!

The first run of these beautiful exhibition posters was limited to only 250 posters, and they are certain to sell out fast.

“A Black person on a canvas is automatically read as radical,” artist Amy Sherald told Smithsonian Magazine. “My figures needed to be pushed into the world in a universal way, where they could become a part of the mainstream art historical narrative.” This work was inspired by photographer Charles C. Ebbets’ famous pictures of nineteenth-century iron workers building New York City’s skyscrapers, and its poetic title is taken from Toni Morrison’s 1977 novel, Song of Solomon."

Posters are shipped rolled.
