The Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam has acquired 'Negroes Battling in a Cave' (2016), marking the first time a painting by Ellen Gallagher has entered a Dutch public collection. The four-part monochrome series references Kazimir Malevich’s 'Black Square' and incorporates collage elements from mid-century African American magazines. The acquisition was funded by the Mondriaan Fund, Vereniging Rembrandt, the Glenstone Foundation, and private donors including Adriaan Mol and Dymfy Erens.
