Kay WalkingStick / Hudson River School | Addison Gallery of American Art

Hales is delighted to announce that Kay WalkingStick / Hudson River School, is now on view at the Addison Gallery of American Art, MA, USA through 2 February 2025.

 

Organized by the New-York Historical Society, Kay WalkingStick / Hudson River School places landscape paintings by the renowned, contemporary Cherokee artist Kay WalkingStick in conversation with highlights from New-York Historical's collection of 19th-century Hudson River School paintings. This artistic dialogue showcases the ways in which WalkingStick's work both connects to and diverges from the Hudson River School tradition and explores the agency of art in shaping humankind's relationship to the land. The exhibition celebrates a shared reverence for nature while engaging crucial questions about land dispossession and its reclamation by Indigenous peoples and nations and exploring the relationship between Indigenous art and American art history.
