America: Painting A Nation
Event Date: 09/11/2013, 10:00 am
200 years of American Art
8 NOVEMBER 2013 – 9 FEBRUARY 2014
Part of the Sydney International Arts Series, this is the most expansive historical survey of American painting ever presented in Australia.
With over 85 works, ranging from 1750 to 1967, the exhibition covers more than 200 years of American art, history and experience.
America: painting a nation includes artists such as Mary Cassatt, Winslow Homer, Edward Hopper, James McNeill Whistler, Georgia O’Keeffe, Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko and John Singer Sargent.
The works have come from four major institutions in the USA: the Terra Foundation, Chicago; the Philadelphia Museum of Art; the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts has lent its major work, Edward Hopper’s House at dusk 1935. Most of the works have never been seen in Australia and the Art Gallery of New South Wales is the only Australian venue for this exhibition.
