"The Image of Modernism: Work from a Private Collection" Exhibition
Pace MacGill
This event has ended.
“The Image of Modernism: Work from a Private Collection” features over 20 photographs, paintings and works on paper (dating from 1892-1965) by renowned American artists. Rather than consider the histories of modern American painting and photography as disparate or fractured, the extraordinary work in this private collection demonstrates a unified commitment to glorifying a new epoch via progressive visual principles. Traditional subjects and genres – still life, landscape and narrative – were re-invigorated to serve a new vision. Seen alongside one another, this collection creates a lively dialogue that illuminates parallel formal and conceptual premises.
