NYAB Event - "Visual Conversations: Selections from the Collection" Exhibition

"Visual Conversations: Selections from the Collection" Exhibition

Fisher Landau Center For Art

This event has ended.

The exhibition highlights Mrs. Landau's unique gift for visualizing connections among artists throughout
various stages of their creative production. The installation will focus on a number of artists whose work
has been collected in depth, offering a visual timeline that opens a dialogue amongst themselves. This
comprehensive survey will highlight Mrs. Landau’s unique collecting philosophy through the conversations
that occur when several artists are communicating at once. "VISUAL CONVERSATIONS: Selections from
the Collection" provides an opportunity to showcase artwork from "LEGACY: The Emily Fisher Landau
Collection", a traveling exhibition organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art that will tour the
United States from 2013 through 2015.

Painting, sculpture & photography from Fisher Landau Center for Art will be displayed alongside pieces
that are part of the historic pledge to the Whitney Museum of American Art. A number of artworks will
make their inaugural debut at the Center, including Jasper Johns "Flags" from 1986, an oil on canvas
measuring 26 x 33 inches, Ellsworth Kelly "Black White" from 1970, a triangular oil on canvas measuring
70 x 170 inches, Joseph Kosuth “Fetishism (Corrected) #7” from 1988, neon & offset on paper, 104 x 72
