Goodman Gallery New York presents Landing (again), a group presentation showcasing eight leading 20th and 21st century artists who have been instrumental in shaping the course of art history from the African continent and its diaspora. The artists include El Anatsui, David Koloane, William Kentridge, Atta Kwami, Sam Nhlengethwa, George Pemba, Gerard Sekoto, Carrie Mae Weems and Sue Williamson. Presenting this group of pivotal artists from the African continent in New York continues to underscore the imperative for greater representation of artists from the Global South.

This presentation serves as an extension of Landing, first showcased by the New York gallery in November 2023 – January 2024. The Landing series by Goodman Galley will continue to further the dialogue around these influential figures and their enduring impact on the artistic landscape. This further aligns with the gallery’s efforts to reframe and expand art history.

The timing of this presentation coincides with growing international recognition by institutions of these artists as essential voices within the discourse of what is now referred to as global modernism(s). Their work is featured in prestigious collections worldwide, including the Centre Pompidou in Paris, Pérez Art Museum in Miami, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, Tate Modern in London, and the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles.
