Superfine: Tailoring Black Style will examine the historical and cultural emergence of the Black Dandy, tracing the figure from 18th-century depictions to modern-day representations.

Inspired by Monica L. Miller’s 2009 book, Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity, the exhibition will present a cultural and historical examination of the Black dandy, from the figure’s emergence in Enlightenment Europe during the 18th century to 21st-century incarnations in the cosmopolitan cities of London, New York, and Paris.

In the spring and summer of 1919 and 1920, during a period of intense engagement with nature, artist Hilma af Klint drew flowers almost every day. “I will try,” she wrote, “to grasp the flowers of the earth.” This exhibition focuses on a portfolio of drawings new to MoMA’s collection—jewel-toned watercolors made by a keen-eyed naturalist, attuned to the rhythms and bounty of the blooming season.
