#Artist #FaithRinggold, who died this week, had commercial representation, had work shown in and collected by museums, books were written about her, she even published children's books that were in every public school classroom I ever taught in. Yet this week she is being described as un- or under- recognized. "Never got the recognition she deserved."
This is well meaning, but it is a kind of erasure of the success of a #BlackArtist. How much success would it take to be recognized as success?
