[LACMA](https://www.lacma.org) presents Julie Mehretu’s first ever career survey that will showcase her work from a novice artist focusing on “drawing, mapping, and iconography” to her work today that includes “bold gestures, sweeps of saturated color, and figurative elements.” With over two decades of Julie’s work to speak for herself as an artist, the exhibit will be comprised of forty works on paper with thirty five paintings.
Curated by Christine Y. Kim, contemporary art curator for LACMA, with Rujeko Hockley, assistant curator at the Whitney Museum of American Art, the exhibition will travel to multiple cities in America to display her artistic development and journey.
