A mid-career retrospective of Ligon’s work, Glenn Ligon: AMERICA, organized by Scott Rothkopf, opened at the Whitney Museum of American Art in March 2011. The exhibition traveled to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in the fall of 2011, and to the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth in early 2012. Ligon has been the subject of solo museum exhibitions at the Power Plant in Toronto, the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, The Studio Museum in Harlem, the Institute of Contemporary Art in Philadelphia and the Kunstverein Munich, Germany. His work was included in Documenta XI in 2002, and the 1991 and 1993 Whitney Biennials.
