Recent Acquisitions

Gifts of Art

Celebrating recent acquisitions, this exhibition only hints at the breadth of ideas realized in a variety of media by artists today. From the sampling of video art in the compilation Point of View to the suggestive forms cast in traditional bronze by John Tracey, the sensitive and perceptive efforts of artists from around the world engage the viewer by making us think more deeply about the abstract complexity of our world and our lives. These exceptional examples of the art of our time have been acquired by the Museum through the generous donations of several individuals who have dedicated their funds for contemporary art and shared their personal collections with us and future generations.
