Fifty years later, artist Mary Enoch Elizabeth Baxter, who gave birth in prison 15 years ago, finds herself banding together with an eclectic group of activists, politicians, artists, corrections officers, and Faith Ringgold herself to free the artwork with the ultimate goal of freeing the women. Paint Me a Road Out of Here is a wild tale of the painting’s whitewashed journey and the two artists who challenged the same powerful and oppressive institutions, a half century apart, with their artwork, their voices, and their shared, persistent goals.

Courtesy of the artist and Marlborough Contemporary. Photo by Tom Powell. Jun 2-Sep 17, 2017 Keith Mayerson My American Dream In My American Dream , his first solo museum exhibition, artist Keith Mayerson offers a distinctive view of the American Dream at a critical moment in our sociopolitical landscape. Presenting more than 100 paintings from a twenty-year body of work, My American Dream weaves together famous figures, iconic events, inspiring landscapes, and personal experiences into a vibrant cosmology. Peppered with images of the artist’s family, including his husband Andrew, Mayerson creates an earnest and progressive portrait of American values and prosperity. The exhibition will be presented in a tight, salon-style hang, positioning works in close proximity to one another in order to encourage viewers to suture together stories and create meaning. While some subjects have clear historical relationships (Annie Oakley and Sitting Bull, for example), other combinations suggest the non-linear nature of a dream that disrupts notions of past, present, and future. Comprehensively, My American Dream is both an elegiac and hopeful commentary, a narrative tapestry about the times in which we live, and the issues and values that inform and construct our individual and collective perspectives. Mayerson is noted for his expressive, representational paintings based mostly on photographs, magazines, books, newspapers, films, and his own archive. The work ranges from paintings that celebrate the sublime beauty of America’s landscape to those reflecting traumatic moments that redefined American culture. Through a meticulous process of first abstracting and then reunifying the image, Mayerson immerses himself in both the formal and metaphorical aspects of his subjects. He translates the familiar into the spirited using a gestural style and vibrant palette, capturing the intangible essence of diverse places and people. Mayerson explores concepts of power, strength, and authority through portraits of diverse figures ranging from superheroes to politicians. At the same time, he mines his own history, representing both the prosaic and special moments that ground life. He interrogates bigotry and persecution through works that honor the oppressed. As the artist states, his paintings “serve as both a personal homage to those people and experiences that have shaped [my] own individual identity and beliefs, and a reminder of their broader social and historical impact.” My American Dream will feature a series of new paintings made in relation to Cleveland, such as The Block (2016), which depicts the epic moment in Game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals when LeBron James leapt into the air to block a shot by Golden State Warriors forward, Andre Iguodala. This iconic play helped the Cleveland Cavaliers win the series and title, realizing an “American Dream” for thousands. Generous support for Keith Mayerson: My American Dream is provided by MOCA LGBTQ + Allies and Marlborough Contemporary, with additional support provided by Doreen and Dick Cahoon, Aaron and Eva Wexler, and Great Lakes Brewing Company. In kind support for the production of My American Dream is provided by SHAHEEN modern and contemporary art.

  • Corrie-Slawson | moCa Cleveland

    Title Round Corrie Slawson Cloud Cover Over/In the Pantheon , 2025 Oil and mixed media on birch plywood 23 ½ x 20 inches Courtesy of SHAHEEN modern and contemporary art Estimated Retail Value: $4,200 Starting Bid: $1,200 Corrie Slawson creates visually rich works that combine painting, drawing, printmaking, and collage into striking compositions that blend recognizable places and everyday scenes with abstracted forms to create a heightened, almost cinematic intensity. Both immediate and expansive, Slawson’s work is rooted in close observation and research tied to the artist’s concerns for the inequities in our world. Cloud Cover Over/In the Pantheon is from her newest body of work, which focuses on the political vulnerability of women’s bodily autonomy. Overlaying recognizable elements like the Pantheon with shapes and forms that suggest the female reproductive system, Slawson reminds us of the long history of attempted control over women’s bodies and the persistent strength and resistance of women throughout time. +sign up to proxy bid return to auction menu More: Corrie Slawson Corrie Slawson received her BFA from Parsons School of Design and her MFA from Kent State University. Her work has been exhibited at moCa Cleveland, the Toledo Museum of Art, the Akron Art Museum, the Massillon Museum, SPACES, and The Sculpture Center, and internationally at venues including Centro Cultural Tijuana and Galerie Module Drei in Dresden, Germany. Slawson’s layered, narratively charged works are also held in public and private collections including those of Arizona State University, Case Western Reserve University, the University of Illinois, the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, and Progressive Insurance.
