The Studio Museum in Harlem

Marc Handelman, Untitled, 2006

Represented, revered, and recognized by people around the world, Harlem is a continually expanding nexus of black culture, history and iconography. Venerable landmarks, such as the Abyssinian Baptist Church, the Apollo Theater, Hotel Theresa, Audubon Ballroom and 125th Street, remain popular emblems of important historic moments and moods. The Studio Museum’s ongoing series, Harlem Postcards, invites contemporary artists of diverse backgrounds to reflect on Harlem as a site for artistic contemplation and production. Installed in the Museum lobby and available to visitors, Harlem Postcards present intimate views and fresh perspectives on this famous neighborhood. Artists include: Evi Abeler, Marc Handelman, Pearl C. Hsiung and Larry Mantello
