August 26, 2025 - December 7, 2025

Organized by the Birmingham Museum of Art, this exhibition celebrates a key figure in the history of Black American art, Hayward L. Oubre, Jr. (1916 – 2006). Through a broad range of dazzling works of art, the show explores the achievements of a luminary of American modernism. Hayward Oubre: Structural Integrity is the first monographic retrospective of Oubre’s artwork, and shares a previously unexamined history of American modernism rooted in the South through 52 sculptures, paintings, and prints.
