Established in 2005 by the High Museum of Art , the David C. Driskell Prize in African American Art and Art History recognizes field-defining contributions to African American art by some of the leading scholars and artists from around the country.
Patterson is known for her monumental, baroque installations that gather together beads, fabric, children’s toys, archival images, and a lot more. Her work is included in the collections of major art institutions, including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Studio Museum in Harlem, the Pérez Art Museum Miami, the Whitney Museum in New York, the National Gallery of Jamaica, and the Speed Art Museum in Louisville, Kentucky.
Past recipients of the Driskell Prize include artists Xaviera Simmons, Rashid Johnson, Lyle Ashton Harris, Mark Bradford, Amy Sherald, and Jamal D. Cryus, as well as curators Kellie Jones, Franklin Sirmans, Valerie Cassel Oliver, and Naima J. Keith.
