Kara Walker: Harper's Pictorial History of the Civil War (Annotated) 🖼️

Mar. 1 - May 25 | Frick Pittsburgh

Comprised of 15 large scale prints, Kara Walker: Harper’s Pictorial History of the Civil War (Annotated) revisits the historical representations found in the two-volume anthology published in 1866, "Harper’s Pictorial History of the Civil War."

In doing so, Walker brings to light experiences of racism that were often omitted or merely hinted at in traditional historical narratives.
