DESCRIPTION:May 8 - Oct 4\, 2026\nIn honor of Betye Saar’s 100th birthday
 \, and to celebrate her promised gift of more than 100 Black dolls to the 
 museum\, New York Historical has mounted an exhibition of 26 dolls from Sa
 ar’s collection—one of them designed and created by the artist—along
  with 14 doll watercolors and some of Saar’s signature assemblages. “A
 s a child\, I never had a Black doll\,” Saar told Cultured Magazine in 2
 021. “I usually had dolls that my mother found\, and every year she woul
 d repaint their hair or make a new dress. Black dolls were not manufacture
 d back then.” In the late 1960s\, Saar found a Black doll in a Los Angel
 es antique store\, and her collection began. “I started to notice them a
 t swap meets and elsewhere.” During the pandemic\, Saar painted watercol
 ors of the dolls. She used a saturated palette to capture the mystical fig
 ures.
