From Whistler to Warhol: Modernism on Paper
Gallery 28: Henry R. Luce Gallery
In an unprecedented move, the Academy presents a major exhibition of 100 masterworks from their modernist holdings, including a number of unpublished and rarely exhibited examples, as well as a selection of important recent acquisitions.
Beginning with the American painter-printmaker James McNeill Whistler, the exhibition traces the history of modernism on paper to show how this medium proved supremely adaptable to the avant-garde spirit of experimentation. On view will be works by Whistler, Camille Pissarro, Edgar Degas, Odilon Redon, Edvard Munch, Paul Gauguin, Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Emile Nolde, Käthe Kollwitz, Max Ernst, Joan Miró, John Marin, Joseph Stella, Edward Hopper, John Sloan, Raphael Soyer, Thomas Hart Benton, Tatanya Grossman, June Wayne, Jasper Johns, Ellsworth Kelly, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Rauschenberg, and Frank Stella.
