AttributeError: 'AxesSubplot' object has no attribute '_hold'

When trying to call imshow with Matplotlib3.0, I get

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
AttributeError                            Traceback (most recent call last)

     35 cb = plt.colorbar(im)
     36 cb.ax.set_ylabel("Counts")

AttributeError: 'AxesSubplot' object has no attribute '_hold'

Apparently, hold has been removed from Matplotlib: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53957042/attributeerror-axessubplot-object-has-no-attribute-hold
