Description
As part of the Museum’s 60th Anniversary Celebration, Museum staff is currently working on a new installation of the permanent collection. This exhibition will examine a variety of ways to consider art and the relationship between art and viewer.
Looking Back will explore the Museum’s collection of American art of the 20th and 21st centuries with an interest in the art of the Southeast and Western North Carolina and will celebrate the generosity of collectors and community supporters who have helped build this extraordinary resource over the last six decades.
This exhibition will feature artworks by Janet Fish, Maud Gatewood, Robert Indiana, Jasper Johns, Robert Moskowitz, Nathan Oliveira, William Lester Stevens and others.
The new installation will open July 3, so makes plans to come by and see some old favorites that have not been on view in a while as well as some new and exciting surprises. This exhibition will be coupled with Looking Forward: Celebrating New Art and New Directions for the Permanent Collection opening this September in the Appleby Foundation Gallery.
