Modern Masters: 20th Century Icons from the Albright-Knox Art Gallery
02 Mar, 2014 - 08 Jun, 2014
The Denver Art Museum and the Clyfford Still Museum(CSM) will present Modern Masters: 20th Century Icons from the Albright-Knox Art Gallery. This exhibition at the DAM will bring together approximately 50 iconic artworks by Vincent van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Georgia O鈥橩eeffe, Salvador Dal铆, Frida Kahlo, and Andy Warhol as well as one of Jackson Pollock鈥檚 finest drip paintings. In all, more than 40 influential artists will be on view.
Curated by Dean Sobel, director of CSM, the exhibition is drawn from the collection of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, New York, one of the most respected collections of twentieth-century art in the country. A special ticket will give visitors admission to the exhibition at the DAM as well as 1959, a correlative exhibition at CSM February 14-June 15, 2014. Also curated by Sobel, 1959 recreates Still鈥檚 landmark exhibition held at the Albright-Knox in the fall of 1959. This exhibition was the largest of Still鈥檚 career and the first following his decision to break ties with the art world in 1951.
Modern Masters will display works that begin in the late 1800s, including stellar examples of post-impressionism by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Van Gogh, and Paul Gauguin. The exhibition also considers ideas that contributed to the development and rejection of later art movements such as cubism, surrealism, pop art, minimalism. The largest grouping in the exhibition features approximately 20 mid-century American artists, many of whom identified as abstract expressionists, including Pollock, Mark Rothko, Willem de Kooning, Robert Motherwell, and Still.
