Addison Gallery Tour: Finding American Form

Manhattan Bridge Oil Painting
Wednesday, May 8, 2024 - 3:00pm

Join Rachel Vogel, Assistant Curator at the Addison Gallery of American Art, for an in-person tour and discussion of the exhibition.

Finding American Form: 20th-Century Selections from the Permanent Collection explores the spirit of formal experimentation and range of artistic styles that characterized the 20th century.

Artists mined the space between representation and abstraction, whether drawing upon the influence of European modern art, finding inspiration from the stylized sculptures and masks of West Africa, or taking cues from their urban environment and the natural world. The exhibition is on view at the Addison Gallery of American Art through July 31, 2024.

Please note this event will take place at the Addison Gallery on the campus of Phillips Academy.

Registration is required and space is limited. Registration will open Monday, April 8th.
