Rico Gatson’s 'Nina,' from 2007, is on display at the Studio Museum in Harlem as part of 'Icons,' a solo exhibition of the artist’s recent works on paper.

We took the elevator together between floors but were otherwise invisible to one another until, after an hour or so, we left the exhibition and started to walk. As we went, my friend expressed his disappointment with the show. It wasn’t that the work was uniquely bad or ill chosen. ..."
