In celebration of the exhibition “Frank Bowling’s Americas,” art historian Darby English moderates a conversation on the abstract painter’s journey of artistic self-determination in New York, and his significance today. English is joined in discussion by artist Firelei Báez, for whom Bowling’s work provides a touchstone.
