Cowboy reexamines the popular mythologies surrounding the image and concept of the cowboy. Through the work of 28 artists, which includes Asian American, Black, Indigenous, and Latino perspectives, the exhibition explores a wide array of themes including perceptions of masculinity and gender, assumptions about cowboys’ relationship to land, and the lived experiences of contemporary cowboys.

Drawn from the Carter's collection, Richard Hunt: From Paper to Metal highlights the artist’s prints produced at the Tamarind Lithography Workshop in 1965 and a newly-acquired sculpture, Natural Form, created in Hunt’s signature direct-welded metal technique. 

Beverly Pepper’s Curvae in Curvae is the fourth installation of the Carter’s outdoor sculpture initiative, a program launched in 2022 to activate the Museum’s grounds.

Rufino Tamayo: Innovation and Experimentation presents the evolution of Tamayo’s artistic technique through his works on paper, experimenting with ways to add volume and texture to a traditionally two-dimensional medium.

Fortune of the Spirit | Robert Bergman includes 65 of the artist’s early black-and-white street photographs and his intimate color portraits captured between 1985 and 1997. The exhibition marks the first time the Carter is presenting work from the Museum’s 2020 acquisition of 51 of Bergman’s artworks.
