New Monographic Exhibition to Debut at New Orleans Museum of Art
The New Orleans Museum of Art (NOMA) will debut "Hayward Oubre: Structural Integrity," the first monographic exhibition dedicated to American modernist Hayward L. Oubre, Jr. (1916–2006). Organized by the Birmingham Museum of Art, the show features 48 sculptures, paintings, and prints, including Oubre's notable wire coat hanger sculptures, and runs from January 30 through May 3. Oubre, a New Orleans-born artist, was the first BFA graduate of Dillard University and later chaired art departments at Alabama State University and Winston-Salem State University, shaping a network of Black artists in the South.
