'The Last Supper:' Boise Art Museum exhibits artist’s lifework on death row final meals

The Boise Art Museum is exhibiting Julie Green's "The Last Supper," a collection of nearly 1,000 hand-painted blue-and-white ceramic plates depicting the final meal requests of death row inmates. The project, which Green began in 2000 after reading a newspaper clipping about an execution, spans more than two decades and is on display for the first time in its entirety in the U.S. The plates show comfort foods like fried chicken, tater tots, and honey buns, painted in cobalt blue reminiscent of 18th-century Danish porcelain.

Chicken buckets, baked beans, liters of coke: the final meals of death row inmates

Artist Julie Green spent 22 years painting the last meals of 1,000 death row inmates on ceramic plates, resulting in the exhibition "The Last Supper" at the Boise Art Museum. The cobalt-blue images on second-hand white plates include specific requests like tacos, doughnuts, fried chicken, and lobster, drawn from newspaper accounts of executions. The exhibition features plates from across the U.S., including two from Idaho, and was inspired by Green's reading of a 1999 newspaper article about a condemned man's final meal.
