Presenting over 35 works from the Museum’s permanent collection ranging from the late 1950s to 2024, this exhibition aims to highlight the myriad ways artists from different generations employ abstraction to create their compositions. Making use of bright and vivacious colors, artists like Ilya Bolotowsky, Alexander Calder, Theo Hios, and Lee Krasner employ deeply saturated tones to present both rigid and unstructured abstractions. In contrast, works by Stephen Antonakos, Agnes Martin, and Richard Serra all utilize a monochromatic palette to depict their compositions. Highlighting geometric abstractions through works that have not recently been on view, this collection rotation offers new dialogues amongst drawings, paintings, and prints.

Linear | Amorphous: Geometric Abstractions from the Permanent Collection is curated by Kaitlin Halloran, Associate Curator and Publications Manager.
