Is “Nowhere better than this place” or “Somewhere better than this place”? Felix Gonzalez-Torres invites viewers to make a choice in this interactive work. Filmed over the course of a month, watch visitors decide which option they will take from two endlessly replenished stacks of paper in the National Gallery of Art. Gonzalez-Torres not only confronts viewers with a dilemma, he allows them to take a piece of his art wherever they go.
The Double: Identity and Difference in Art since 1900 was on view at the National Gallery of Art July 10 – October 31, 2022.
The Robert and Mercedes Eichholz Foundation provided major support for the exhibition.
It was also generously supported by Dr. Mihael Polymeropoulos and Mrs. Mahy D. Polymeropoulos.
Additional funding was provided by the Tower Project of the National Gallery of Art.
The exhibition was supported by an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities.

Using A.I. technology, you can experience the wonder of Sargent’s encounters with Carmen Dauset Moreno (aka La Carmencita). When Sargent saw La Carmencita for the first time, he was captivated. The artist was struck by her confidence and the vibrancy of her wardrobe. He was so inspired, in fact, he asked the famous flamenco dancer to pose for a painting in his studio. And thus, La Carmencita was forever immortalized in paint.

Presenting some 140 oils, watercolors, drawings, and never-before published photographs, several almost certainly taken by the artist himself.
Over seven extended visits between 1879 and 1912, he depicted stunning landscape views, detailed architectural studies, local peoples and traditions, dynamic scenes of flamenco dance, and everyday moments of Spanish Roma life.

Smith, Purvis Young, and many other Black artists in the South worked with little recognition, often using recycled materials as their art supplies and yards, porches, or boarded-up storefronts as their galleries. The women of Gee’s Bend, Alabama, made dazzling quilts from well-worn clothing or leftover scraps of fabric. Despite racism and other forms of discrimination, all of these artists drew on deep cultural and spiritual traditions to create some of the finest art of our time.
In 2020, the National Gallery acquired 40 sculptures, assemblages, paintings, reliefs, quilts, and drawings from the Souls Grown Deep Foundation, and several related gifts have recently entered the collection as well. Enjoy these inventive works, including nine Gee’s Bend quilts, and learn the remarkable stories of their making and makers.
Music by James "Son Ford" Thomas, excerpted from "I Ain't Lyin'," directed by William Ferris.
