Gallery Talk with curators Robert Cozzolino and Julien Robson,
Sunday, July 11, 1 p.m.
Dates:
July 10 – September 12, 2010
Location:
Fisher Brooks Gallery, Samuel M. V. Hamilton Building
Description:
PAFA’s permanent collection has grown by leaps and bounds over the past few years through exciting purchases and generous gifts. This dynamic presentation of postwar art will integrate major recent acquisitions with the collection for the first time, including Jules Kirschenbaum’s Woman with Fighting Dogs (1958), Kehinde Wiley’s Three Wise Men Greeting Entry Into Lagos (2008), and Mark Bradford’s Untitled (Dementia) (2009) among other surprises. Large-scale works by Jennifer Bartlett, Leon Golub, Barbara Kruger, Elizabeth Murray, Neil Welliver and others will be included in new juxtapositions that reveal the growing strength and unusual character of PAFA’s postwar collection. Interplay between realism and abstraction, process and material, seriality and autonomy, handmade and assemblage will be explored through dialogues and thematic groupings in the installation.
