  • You can't miss the work of artist Simone Leigh in New York this month. Her solo show just opened at one of the city's great museums and she's also the inaugural sculptor for a massive display space on the city's popular High Line park. Those are just some of the accomplishments that have earned her growing recognition as an emerging force in the art world. Anthony Mason reports.

    Nice story. I fondly remember her exhibit at the Kansas City Art Institute in 2016. Go Simone Go!

    The idea of an artist as eloquent and with such purpose as Simone not having widespread recognition fairly recently is absolutely insane to me. An absolute genius.
