Art with a Mission
The free exhibition features more than 80 works and reflects her focus on women artists, artists of color and California art.
- On Saturday, July 25, art collector and philanthropist Eileen Harris Norton unveils 'Destiny Is a Rose: The Eileen Harris Norton Collection' at Hauser & Wirth in downtown Los Angeles, marking 50 years since her first acquisition.
- Harris Norton purposely collected women artists because they were underrepresented in museums and collections, with women of color always a conscious thought; early efforts included organizing exhibitions at the Hammer Museum featuring Charles Gaines, Adrian Piper, and others.
- The exhibition features more than 80 works from artists including Mark Bradford, Glenn Ligon, Kerry James Marshall, Kara Walker, and Carrie Mae Weems, reflecting Harris Norton's philosophy that 'art isn't separate from the lives around it; it's the relationships, the history, the memories.'
- Offered free to the public, the exhibition reflects Harris Norton's prescient vision and commitment to social justice and learning, grounded in her lived experience as a Black woman in Los Angeles.
- Accompanying programming includes screenings of films by British filmmaker and artist Isaac Julien exploring the legacies of poet and activist Langston Hughes and pioneering experimental filmmaker and artist Derek Jarman at the gallery.
