The artist said the show is an effort to combine American history, art history, Black history and pop culture.
Roberts, from Austin, Texas, is an old friend of Cummer CEO Andrea Barnwell Brownlee, who called the works beautiful and complex but also a little difficult to view.
She said it didn't even start as a show, just a collection of pieces in her Texas studio."I don't work toward shows," Roberts said during a media preview of the show."I'm just an artist who works."
