Lynette Yiadom-Boakye

Lynette Yiadom-Boakye’s survey at Tate Britain in London, already delayed due to Covid-19, opened to great acclaim last December before being cut short by another lockdown. It was the largest exhibition to date of her expressive oil paintings depicting fictional Black figures: there were some 70 works on linen and canvas, dating from 2003 to the present day. The show is scheduled to return to the museum for a second run in November next year, after touring to museums in Stockholm, Düsseldorf and Luxembourg.
