グッゲンハイム美術館さんのインスタグラム写真 - (グッゲンハイム美術館Instagram)「Happy birthday to Faith Ringgold! 🎉 ⠀ “Woman on a Bridge #1 of 5: Tar Beach” (pictured here) is the first quilt in Ringgold’s colorful and lighthearted series, “Women on a Bridge,” and depicts the fantasies of its spirited heroine and narrate Cassie Louise Lightfoot, who, on a summer night in Harlem, flies over the George Washington Bridge. “Sleeping on Tar Beach was magical…” she explains in the text on the quilt, “only eight years old and in the third grade and I can fly. That means I am free to go wherever I want to for the rest of my life.” For Ringgold, this phantasmic flight through the urban night sky symbolizes the potential for freedom and self-possession. ⠀ Tap the link in our bio to hear curator Ashley James (@ohashuhlee) share the story of this important collection work, and go on a journey through the piece’s compelling details. ⠀ __ “Woman on a Bridge #1 of 5: Tar Beach” (1988), © 2020 Faith Ringgold/Artists Rights Society, New York, courtesy ACA Galleries #FaithRinggold #GuggenheimCollection #Guggenheim」10月9日 5時56分
