Kehinde Wiley was awarded the US State Department Medal of Arts. Secretary of State John Kerry presented the medal to Kehinde Wiley on January 21, in honor of his substantive commitment to the US State Department’s cultural diplomacy outreach through the visual arts. Known for his large scale paintings of young African Americans, depicted in the style of European royal portraits, the American artist embodies the international spirit of the award, living in between Beijing, Dakar, and New York. Kehinde Wiley will be the subject of a major survey exhibition, Kehinde Wiley: A New Republic, at the Brooklyn Museum from February 20 to May 24, 2015. Following its New York showing, the exhibition will travel to the Modern Art Museum of Forth Worth, Texas (October 16, 2015 – January 10, 2016), the Seattle Art Museum, Washington (February 12 – May 8, 2016) and the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Richmond, Virginia (June 3 – September 5, 2016).
LACMA, LOS ANGELES, USA
From February 2nd to July 27th 2014 Fútbol: The Beautiful Game examines the subject of football—nicknamed by one sports commentator The Beautiful Game—and its interactions with societies around the world. As a subject, football touches on issues of nationalism and identity, globalism and mass spectacle, as well as the common human experience shared by spectators from many cultures. Celebrating the sport on the eve of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, the exhibition includes approximately thirty artists from around the world, working in video, photography, painting and sculpture. Two room-sized video installations—Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait, by the artists Philippe Parreno and Douglas Gordon, and Volta by Stephen Dean—anchor the exhibition. Other works by artists including Miguel Calderon (whose 2004 video Mexico v. Brasil represents a 17-0 victory for Mexico), Robin Rhode, Kehinde Wiley, and Andy Warhol provide a sense of the miraculous possibilities of the sport as universal conversation piece. (…)
Musée d'Orsay, Paris, France
From Tuesday 24th September to Thursday 2nd January 2014 Alors que le nu féminin s’expose aussi régulièrement que naturellement, le corps masculin n’a pas eu la même faveur. Qu’aucune exposition ne se soit donné pour objet de remettre en perspective la représentation de l’homme nu sur une longue période de l’histoire avant le Leopold Museum de Vienne à l’automne 2012 est plus que significatif. Pourtant, la nudité masculine était pendant longtemps au fondement de la formation académique du XVIIe au XIXe siècles et constitue une ligne de force de la création en Occident. (…)
Fondation Maeght, Saint-Paul de Vence, France
From Saturday 29th June to Monday 11th November 2013 Painters and sculptors collaborated with the Catalan architect Josep Lluís Sert, creating works which were integrated into the building and the surrounding natural environment: the Giacometti courtyard, the Miró labyrinth with its sculptures and ceramics, the mosaic murals of Chagall and Tal Coat, Braque’s pond and stained glass window and Bury’s fountain. Indoor and outdoor spaces link up with each other through the sculpture garden, the courtyards, terraces and patios. The Maeght Foundation is already famous for its architecture and gardens; it is also home to one of Europe’s richest collections of modern and contemporary art. The greenery of its grounds makes the Maeght Foundation the ideal place to discover the great artists of our time. (…)
Boise Art Museum, Boise, USA
From Saturday 22th June to Sunday 27th November 2013 One of the most significant young artists today, Kehinde Wiley (American, b. 1977) is known for his vibrant, large-scale paintings of black urban men rendered in the self-confident, empowered poses typical of classical European portrait painting. The World Stage: Israel is part of the artist’s series exploring the global black diaspora and the international phenomenon of urban youth culture. Paintings in The World Stage: Israel are based on photographs the artist took of men of diverse religions and ethnicities living in Israel. The elaborate decorative backgrounds are based on historical Jewish designs and motifs. The portraits are complemented by a selection of Jewish textiles and works on paper, loaned by Ahavath Beth Israel synagogue in Boise, to provide examples of the types of traditional artifacts that inspired Wiley, including Torah ark curtains and a marriage contract.

Phoenix Art Museum, Phoenix, USA
From February 20th to June 23th 2013 Phoenix Art Museum will premier a new series of paintings by the New York artist Kehinde Wiley (American, b. 1976). Wiley gained critical acclaim for his heroic portraits addressing image and status of young men of color within a framework that re-envisions classical styles of portraiture and empowers his sitters. His latest series continues this interest with eight paintings based on the work of Hans Memling (1430-1494)—the Flemish master painter of the Northern Renaissance. (…)
The Contemporary Jewish Museum, San Francisco, USA
Fro February 14th to March 27th 2013 One of today’s most globally-focused painters, African American artist Kehinde Wiley is known for vibrant, large-scale paintings of hip, urban black and brown men, rendered in the self-confident poses typical of classical European portraiture. The first major exhibition of Wiley’s work in San Francisco, The World Stage: Israel is part of the artist’s bold, new series exploring the global Diaspora (…)
