American fashion designer Jeremy Scott (b. 1975, Kansas City, Missouri) and contemporary artist Katherine Bernhardt (b. 1975, St. Louis, Missouri) are both known for their creative work that engages with themes of consumer and popular culture and irreverent humor. A Match Made in Heaven is the first exhibition to explore the shared references that unite Bernhardt’s paintings and Scott’s iconic looks.
Bernhardt is known for her colorful, energetic canvases that juxtapose symbols of everyday life, such as Windex, the golden arches of McDonalds, and Lucky Charms cereal, with imagery sourced from pop culture, such as the Simpsons characters, E.T., and the Pink Panther. Scott’s fashion designs, created for the Italian design house Moschino (2013-2023), adidas, and for his namesake brand, Jeremy Scott, adapt pop culture iconography into haute couture.
Barrett Barrera Projects is the exclusive touring partner for A Match Made in Heaven: Katherine Bernhardt x Jeremy Scott. Curated by JoAnne Northrup for its debut at the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art in 2025, the exhibition has been adapted by BBP for its upcoming multi-city tour.
The exhibition presents over 120 looks by Scott and nearly 40 paintings by Bernhardt, offering a dynamic pop culture experience for museum visitors. A Match Made in Heaven is adaptable for gallery spaces ranging from 5,000 to 10,000+ square feet and we are accepting bookings as early as Fall 2026.
