This quartet of limited edition prints presents four seminal works by Mickalene Thomas in a single, unified collection.

Spanning portraiture to interior spaces, each connected to personal memory, the selection traces key themes across the artist’s practice: intimacy, self-representation, ornamentation and the reclamation of Black femme beauty. From the serene gaze of Portrait of Qusuquzah #8 to the layered architectural space of La Maison de Monet, the works collectively reflect Mickalene’s unapologetic, celebratory vision and her enduring impact on contemporary art.

Each print is realised with intricate silkscreen layering, metallic shimmer details, gloss varnish and a matte varnish seal, ensuring consistency, depth and textual richness across the full quartet.

Mickalene Thomas set out to change the face of art history, and that's exactly what she did. In her loud but tender multimedia portraits, Black femme power, beauty and desire take centre stage. Whether it's the artist herself, her mother, a lover, a friend or a public figure like Michelle Obama, each woman tells her own story. In Thomas' words: "The gaze of my work is unapologetically a Black woman's gaze loving other Black women."¹ This deep sense of adoration and respect comes through in all of her art – not just her portraits but her interiors and photography too. The bright Pop Art-esque blend of photography, collage, paint and craft shop materials like rhinestones has a celebratory feel designed to uplift and empower the next generation. "For me, it's all about trying to inspire and make young girls, when they walk into a space like [a museum], feel a sense of themselves. They see that they're represented."
