Two museums have decided not to host a traveling Kehinde Wiley exhibit after the artist was accused of sexual assault.
The Minneapolis Institute of Art and the Pérez Art Museum Miami both said they would not host the traveling Wiley exhibit, “An Archaeology of Silence.” Before that, the Joslyn Art Museum in Omaha, Nebraska pushed the opening of a different exhibit, “Kehinde Wiley: Omaha,” which was set to feature portraits of the city’s residents; the Joslyn said it was “revisiting” its schedule and will “announce any updates at a later date.
This week, artist and activist Derrick Ingram said Wiley raped and sexually assaulted him during their brief relationship in 2021. A third man, Terrell Armistead, accused Wiley of raping him during an alleged encounter in 2010. Wiley’s accusers are reportedly planning to file a class action lawsuit against him.
