Ruth Frank at her 90th birthday party (Photo courtesy of Jonsara Ruth) Ruth Frank, a globe-trotting, larger-than-life member of the Ohringer family who became renowned in Pittsburgh and beyond for her unusual jewelry creations, died peacefully of natural causes at her Longboat Key, Florida, home on June 13.

‘Grief and Grievance’ Shows Us Profound Visions of Black Suffering At the New Museum, the exhibition, conceived by the late curator Okwui Enwezor, is a sobering look at the realities of Black grief, but fails to address its root cause ‘Grief and Grievance: Art and Mourning in America’ is a big, Black, 37-artist exhibition conceived by esteemed curator Okwui Enwezor and completed after his death by a curatorial committee including Naomi Beckwith, Massimiliano Gioni, Glenn Ligon and Mark Nash. As it stands, however, the exhibition feels rather like a finely wrought time capsule: an A-list crew of artists presenting genuinely moving, profound visions of Black grief, but without the sense of immediacy that the pandemic has instilled in racial politics.
