Artist Mickalene Thomas: 'Je t’adore' & 'Portrait of an Unlikely Space'

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Nov 7, 2023

New Jersey-born and New York-based artist Mickalene Thomas is showing work at two art shows. The first, Je t’adore, runs in NYC at the Yancey Richardson Gallery through November 11, and features new work inspired by imagery of Black female erotica. The other show, Portrait of an Unlikely Space, at Yale University through January, mixes early portraiture of Black Americans with work by contemporary artists including Thomas. She joins us to discuss both.
