Shaping Vision: Impressionism To Abstract Expressionism

The installation highlights some of the world’s most influential modern and pre-modern artists, including Vincent van Gogh, Willem de Kooning, Édouard Manet, Joan Mitchell, and Mark Rothko. These paintings will be accompanied by an exhibition of key works from the museum’s foundational collection of modern abstract artists in Europe and the Americas.

Brave New Worlds:
Explorations in Space

Motivated by the legacies of Southern California as a place of artistic experimentation, a site for self-fulfillment, and a geographic zone of light and natural resources, these artists use their distinctive spatial languages to construct worlds that both challenge convention and ignite our senses. Projects include those by Kelly Akashi, Gisela Colon, Victoria Fu, Karen Lofgren, and Adee Roberson, with works that represent each artist’s understanding of our bodily connection to the world that surrounds us.
