Mark Bradford has emerged in the past decade as one of the most inventive and accomplished artists of his generation, extending and transforming the traditions of 20th-century American painting into an empathetic yet demanding reflection of the urgency, tension, and vibrancy of our present moment.

This five-venue national exhibition marks the first major survey of this Los Angeles–based artist whose multifaceted practice encompasses painting and sculpture as well as media and sound installation. It will be specifically designed by the DMA to take advantage of the unique soaring and expansive architecture of the Dallas Museum of Art’s Barrel Vault and surrounding gallery spaces.

When: Oct 16 – Jan 15
Where: Dallas Museum of Art
