Explore Jacob Lawrence’s ‘Billboards,’ an exhilarating highlight of this season’s 20th Century Evening Sale.

Prominently featuring the world-renowned icon of jazz, Louis Armstrong, ‘Billboards’ stands as the largest and arguably the most complex within the important and powerful cycle of twelve paintings known as the ‘Performance’ series.

Exhibited in Lawrence’s solo show at the Downtown Gallery in 1953, the series is dedicated to various corners of life in the theater and entertainment industry, with ‘Billboards’ flaunting the energetic and rich culture of mid-century New York City brought on by the Harlem Renaissance.
