Barkley L. Hendricks APB’s / Sisters Shopper

Barkley L. Hendricks met these four subjects during his travels — Boston and Paris, respectively.
 
Depicting them with near exactitude, from their accessories and contrasting their apparel against sleek, monochromaticbackgrounds, Hendricks displays Susan, Toni, and the Afro-Parisian brothers as laid-back and low-key.

This shopper was created in celebration of Hendricks’s legacy and the Frick’s Barkley L. Hendricks: Portraits at the Frick exhibition, on view at the Frick Madison through January 7, 2024.
