Gesture, Picture the Frame, Scrape, Concentricity, Line, Part 1
Over the course of nearly half a century, Robert and Jane Meyerhoff acquired works by some of the most influential American artists in the postwar era, building a collection that bridges the divide between abstract and figurative painting. More than 40 arti...sts are represented, with special focus on Jasper Johns, Ellsworth Kelly, Roy Lichtenstein, Brice Marden, Robert Rauschenberg, and Frank Stella. Harry Cooper, the National Gallery's curator of modern and contemporary art, gives a tour of the exhibition, which includes 126 paintings, drawings, prints, and sculpture. By discussing the works according to themes such as Line, Drip, Gesture, and Concentricity, he presents the collection in new and often unexpected ways. The Meyerhoffs have donated 47 works to the National Gallery of Art since 1987, and their entire collection will eventually be given to the museum.
National Gallery of Art Join Chef Michel Richard on Tuesday as he signs copies of "Happy in the Kitchen" and sample dishes he created for Garden Cafe Francais in honor of "From Impressionism to Modernism: The Chester Dale Collection," which will open to the public at noon.
