The Facts
On October 13, 2026, Sadie Coles HQ announced that artists Karimah Ashadu and Klara Liden are featured in 'Graffiti', an exhibition at Centraal Museum in Utrecht. The show runs from October 10, 2026 to March 29, 2027, and examines how graffiti evolved from a youth subculture in New York into a major influence on contemporary art. It includes more than 120 works by seventy artists, exploring how contemporary artists have adopted and transformed graffiti's visual language across new forms and media.
The Signal
The exhibition's focus on graffiti's crossover into contemporary art underscores a growing institutional recognition of street-influenced practices. For collectors, it highlights the market relevance of artists who work with vernacular visual languages, and for curators, it offers a model for contextualizing subcultural movements within art history.
