Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego presents "Yolanda Lopez: Portrait of the Artist." On display Saturday, Oct. 16 through Sunday, April 24, 2022 "Yolanda López: Portrait of the Artist" is the first solo museum presentation of one of the most influential Chicano artists working in California over the past five decades. The exhibition presents a compendium of López’s work from the 1970s and 1980s, when she created a vivid body of paintings, drawings, and collages that reimagine representations of women within Chicano/a/x culture and society at large. Bringing together approximately 50 works in oil pastel, charcoal, collage, photography, and paint, Portrait of the Artist centers on the artist’s celebrated Guadalupe triptych and an expansive series of related works. Located Downtown - 1100 Kettner Boulevard Free Admission. Visit mcasd.org
