Ogden Museum’s annual O What a Night! Gala will take place Saturday, January 15! One of the works up for bid in this year’s live auction is John Isiah Walton’s Queen.

Queen is a part of John Isiah’s series Black Paintings and is the sibling piece to Negro King Rex. Referencing the royal-like status of New Orleans Mardi Gras “Super Krewes”, Queen highlights the inequalities of Mardi Gras culture in New Orleans. Purchase tickets to the O What a Night!
