Corcoran Gallery Of Art, Washington will exhibit Recent Acquisitions in the Corcoran Collection from June 27 to November 1, 2009.
This exhibition focuses on the Corcoran’s recent acquisitions of modern and contemporary art. These works have entered the collection over the past two years through museum purchase and the generosity of individual patrons and foundations.
From its beginnings, the Corcoran’s commitment to contemporary art has been at the core of its mission and its identity.
The gallery’s founder, William Wilson Corcoran, collected art made in his own day; since then, the Corcoran has exhibited and acquired the art of the present, intended to be displayed and interpreted within the museum’s ever-expanding historical collections of American art, European art, contemporary art, decorative arts and photography.
The current exhibition includes paintings, sculpture, photography, and decorative arts by Cynthia Connolly, Jane Hammond, Marc Quinn, Andy Warhol, and Terry Winters, among others.
The picture shows Terry Winters (American, b. 1949), Theoprastus Garden 2, 1982, oil on linen, Gift of the Women's Committee of the Corcoran Gallery of Art and Museum Purchase, by exchange: George Biddle 2009.001. -- www.corcoran.org
