	Kara Walker - Review - Art - Metropolitan Museum of Art - New York Times
		Following in the footsteps of the Museum of Modern Art, the National Gallery in London and many others, the Metropolitan Museum of Art has invited a living artist to assemble an exhibition using works from its collection.
		The artist is Kara Walker, and she has mixed art from the Met's collection with some of her own work to create a superb exhibition; it demonstrates that bringing together artworks from different periods almost always generates new perceptions, and not just regarding art.
		That she is an African-American woman seems to be the last thing on her mind: one of her central messages is that slavery visited degradation equally on all concerned and that its tragic legacy poisons life for all Americans.
