Hechinger Collection: Select Works
The complete Hechinger Collection, featuring nearly 400 works of art, was donated to IA&A in 2003 by hardware-industry pioneer John Hechinger, Sr. The collection鈥檚 contemporary prints, drawings, paintings, and sculptures represent a wealth of 20th-century art that incorporates tools and hardware by artists Berenice Abbott, Arman, Jim Dine, Walker Evans, Jacob Lawrence, Fernand L茅ger, and Claes Oldenburg, among others.
The collection celebrates the ubiquity of tools in our lives with art that magically transforms utilitarian objects into fanciful works of beauty, surprise, and wit. This exhibition represents a selection of works from IA&A鈥檚 Hechinger Collection, which tours nationally with our exhibitions Tools as Art, Tools in Motion, ReTooled, Making Your Mark, and Tools 5, which will debut in 2024.
