Requiem is an exhibition of paintings, prints, and drawings by Mary Lovelace O'Neal from the 1980s and 1990s, presented at Boesky Gallery. It is the first posthumous exhibition devoted to the artist, who was born in 1942 in Jackson, Mississippi, and died in May 2026 in Mérida, Mexico, at the age of 84. The show, titled after Requiem for a Daffodil (1997), traces a transformative period in which her distinct visual language coalesced, weaving childhood memories, international travels, and imagined characters—panthers, mermaids, daisies—into vivid, painterly surfaces that move between abstraction and figuration. It celebrates her grand mythology, built during a 65-year career marked by her keen sensitivity to color and her tension between the expressionist and the minimalist.
