A well-known and respected member of the New York art scene throughout the 1960s, Lozano has not been the subject of a museum exhibition for more than twenty years. She is best known for a series of paintings exploring the idea of wave phenomena. This exhibition reunites the Wave Paintings and also features a substantial body of Lozano's previously unknown early work. This exhibition is presented in recognition of the tenth anniversary of the Amistad Foundation, created in 1987 by the Wadsworth to acquire, exhibit, and preserve art and artifacts documenting African-American history from 1800 to the present. The exhibition explores the role of the Wadsworth in launching this unprecedented partnership with the African-American community.
