MOCA x andSons feat. Rashid Johnson

MOCA x andSons Chocolatiers continue their partnership featuring works from the museum’s world-renowned collection. Celebrating the depth of MOCA’s holdings, the MOCA x andSons collaboration highlights the inspiration, creativity, and breadth of the artists who make up the collection.

New York and Los Angeles-based artist Rashid Johnson (b. 1977, Chicago) deploys an idiosyncratic formal vocabulary across a wide range of media, creating pointed meditations on race and class that fuse abstraction, personal symbolism, and process-based gesture. The artist is particularly interested in testing the ability of abstract visual languages to translate across cultural boundaries. Untitled Anxious Bruise Drawing is drawn from a 2021 exhibition Johnson titled “Black and Blue,” which featured a range of works considering themes of trauma, aftermath, and healing—vital subjects in a pandemic era that coincided with ongoing cultural and social struggles around race in America.

Presented as a 6 piece chocolate box containing our signature classic and modern confections, this unique experience offers a memorable combination of contemporary art and chocolate.

Proceeds directly benefit MOCA's mission, programs and collection.
