We are saddened to learn of the death of artist Rodney Graham. The Buffalo AKG has two works by Graham in the collection, including "Artist in Artists' Bar, 1950's," 2016, which was on view in "We the People: New Art from the Collection" in 2018–19. Graham staged elaborate investigations into the history of art and culture through photography, film, music, performance, and painting. "Artist in Artists' Bar" belongs to a series of works in which Graham imagined himself in the guise of fictional bohemian artists. In this work, Graham presents a powerful form of time travel: one artist attiring himself in the tropes of another generation and weighing whether they still have relevance after so many retellings. .
