The complete list of loan works (a third release) offers a more encouraging picture: alongside a whole lot of Western painting there are objects from Central and South America, Asia, and the Middle East. Still, it’s significant that most of these pieces are three-dimensional objects, and ones that seem to adhere to a very specific narrative that posits the West as the site of art for art’s sake and the rest of the world as home to a more ritualistic and useful kind of art. Then again, the loaned objects are coming from Western cultural institutions, so maybe it’s not that surprising. Joan Mitchell also seems to be the only listed female artist.
