Work by NINA CHANEL ABNEY, MFA FINE ARTS ’07, is part of 30 Americans, an exhibition on view at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, through February 12. Showcasing art by African-American artists of the last three decades, 30 Americans includes pieces by seminal figure Jean-Michel Basquiat, prominent contemporary artists Glen Ligon and Kara Walker, and emerging artists Kehinde Wiley and Shinique Smith. Corcoran Gallery curators invited Abney to lecture to students at the Corcoran College of Art + Design. Since graduating, Abney has exhibited in three solo shows in New York and London and in group shows at the Brooklyn Museum of Art and Art Basel Miami.
