ReTooled: Highlights from the Hechinger Collection
ReTooled presents a selection of works from the collection of John Hechinger, who began acquiring art in the late 1970s following the relocation of his successful hardware store chain鈥檚 headquarters to a larger corporate office. Finding the new space sterile and impersonal, he began decorating it with art that reflected his company鈥檚 activities and products - specifically, art depicting or incorporating tools. In time, Hechinger developed a remarkable collection of works by significant 20th-century artists.
This exhibition showcases more than 40 paintings, sculptures, photographs and works on paper by 28 of the artists in Hechinger鈥檚 collection. Divided into four sections with distinct themes, ReTooled celebrates the instruments that shape our world, as well as the craft, ingenuity and labor of the people who use them.
