Curated by Eleanor Cayre, “Yours Truly” sees self-portraits by over 50 living artists from diverse backgrounds come together. Featuring a range of mediums—including paintings, sculpture, and works on paper—the exhibition not only offers an in-depth look at the genre today, but a glimpse into how working artists interpret their present lived reality and even greater cultural and societal themes.
The sheer diversity of perspectives makes “Yours Truly” an important curatorial moment, with artists across ages, nationalities, and disciplines included, allowing visitors to explore contemporary self-portraiture as well as potentially find part of themselves too reflected in the works on view.
