January 2013
Try something new at the MFA this winter. “Mario Testino: In Your Face” is a fresh, exciting infusion of pop culture in a spectacular setting. From the superb exhibition design created by Testino and his team for his larger-than-life photographs, to the portraits and fashion images themselves, there is a spirit and energy in the Gund Gallery that is not to be missed. Be sure to see “In Your Face” before it closes February 3. The exhibition, cited as “deliciously provocative” (Vogue), is truly memorable—don’t miss your opportunity to say, “I saw Testino at the MFA.”
Two exciting exhibitions by American artists open in January: “Bruce Davidson: East 100th Street” captures 1960s Spanish Harlem through the lens of an insightful photographer and “Loïs Mailou Jones” honors the SMFA alumna and pioneering African American artist with a small, but rich, retrospective of her career.
Join us January 21 for our annual open house underwritten by Citizens Bank. honoring Martin Luther King Jr. with free admission for all, films, art activities and music.
Our 2013 calendar is full of stimulating activities too. Whether you take a class, get tickets to a concert or a lecture, enjoy dinner and a film, or meet friends for a talk or a tour, we hope you will find every day a new MFA.
