Press Release

Gagosian is pleased to present CANDYLADYBLACK, an exhibition by Amanda Williams at its Park & 75 location. Organised by Antwaun Sargent, this is Williams’s first solo exhibition with the gallery.

The exhibition features new works from ‘What Black Is This, You Say?’ (2020–), a series of poignant oil and watercolour paintings produced as an identity-affirming response to the recent tumultuous racial events in the United States. The presentation will reference and build upon Williams’s painting Candy Lady (2021), a work that was included in Social Works II at Gagosian, London, which considered the relationship between space—personal, public, institutional, and psychic—and Black social practice.
