Betye Saars Black Dolls [PMvf3kHYVY2]

"Betye Saar’s Black Dolls" honors the renowned artist’s 100th birthday and celebrates a landmark promised gift to The New York Historical of her collection of more than 100 Black dolls. Saar began collecting Black dolls during the late 1960s in Los Angeles. Curated in close collaboration with the artist and her studio, "Betye Saar’s Black Dolls," a selection of 26 dolls from the promised gift alongside 14 doll watercolors and examples of her signature assemblages underscore the imaginative possibilities of play, as Saar reanimates historical objects to endow them with agency, personality, and story. #IMD #internationalmuseumday #MuseumTok #betyesaar #blackdolls #blackhistory
