Roberts Projects to present Betye Saar: New Work, February 24 – April 27, 2024. Occupying the intersections of historic narrative and ancestral memory, factitive ritual and metaphysical truth, this exhibition is testament to Saar’s enduring legacy as a pioneer of Assemblage art and an American cultural icon.
