Circa 1950: Selections from the Permanent Collection
August 14, 2010 – October 24, 2010

In the years following World War II, many innovative American painters came to the fore, focusing attention away from the Paris based art scene that had for so long held a position of authority and influence. It was during this time that American abstraction rose to prominence in the national and international art world. This companion exhibition to “Hans Hofmann: Circa 1950” includes paintings, drawings and sculpture mad on or around 1950 by notable artists such as Konrad Cramer, Jimmy Ernst, Gertrude Greene, Gregory Ivy, Turku Trajan, and others.
