Wifredo Lam

The Museum of Modern Art announces Wifredo Lam, the most extensive retrospective devoted to the artist in the United States, on view at MoMA from November 10, 2025, through March 28, 2026. Spanning the six decades of Lam’s prolific career, the exhibition will present more than 150 rarely seen artworks from the 1920s to the 1970s—including paintings, large-scale works on paper, collaborative drawings, illustrated books, prints, ceramics, and archival material—with key loans from the Estate of Wifredo Lam, Paris. The retrospective will reveal how Lam—an artist born in Cuba who spent most of his life in Spain, France, and Italy—came to embody the figure of the transnational artist in the 20th century and forged a unique visual style at the confluence of European modernity, African diasporic culture, and Caribbean traditions.

Organized by organized by Christophe Cherix, The Robert Lehman Foundation, Chief Curator of Drawings and Prints and Beverly Adams, The Estrellita Brodsky Curator of Latin American Art; with Damasia Lacroze and Eva Caston, Curatorial Assistants.
