This spring UMFA staff installed a special contemporary work in the European galleries—the oil painting Periphery (2013) by the British artist Lynette Yiadom-Boakye. Originally commissioned for the artist’s salt exhibition at the UMFA, the painting has since been hanging among the contemporary collection, but it’s time to examine it in a new context.
