Jan 29–May 11
Organized by the University of Virginia Art Museum, this exhibition features
50 of Christenberry’s rarely-exhibited drawings and the Klan Room
Tableau, which includes over 200 works. According to Christenberry this
body of work describes his “visceral reaction to this wholly and abhorrently
American phenomenon, which, although officially excised from the public, still
exists and arouses intense feelings in all areas of the country.”
