![]() | January 31, 2009 - April 26, 2009 Grand Scale assembles more than forty oversize and multi-part woodcuts and engravings from United States collections. Except for an exhibition of giant Renaissance woodcuts in the 1970s, this is the first exhibition in more than 100 years to explore the origins of this genre in printmaking with works by some of the most important artists and printmakers of their day. |
![]() | February 28, 2009 - June 30, 2009 Daido Moriyama is one of the most important and exciting Japanese photographers of our time, having made prolific, often experimental pictures of modern urban life since the 1960s. This exhibition showcases a group of approximately 45 photographs made in and around Tokyo in the 1980s, when Moriyama focused his mature aesthetic on the city with renewed intensity. |
March 10, 2009 - October 31, 2009 Drawn from the Museum's collection, this exhibition features Korean screen paintings with auspicious Chinese narratives juxtaposed with the Chinese ceramics of the Qing dynasty (1616–1912) that are decorated with the similar themes. |
![]() | July 2009 – September 2009 Drawn from the collection of Charles K. Williams II, a distinguished archeologist and Director Emeritus of the Corinth Excavations of the American School of Classical Studies in Athens, this exhibition includes approximately 100 paintings, sculptures, watercolors, and drawings from the early decades of the 20th century. |
July 7, 2009 - November 1, 2009 Marcel Duchamp’s enigmatic assemblage Étant donnés: 1. La chute d’eau, 2. Le gaz d’éclairage (Given: 1. The Waterfall, 2. The Illuminating Gas) has been described by the artist Jasper Johns as “the strangest work of art in any museum.” Permanently installed at the Museum since 1969, this three-dimensional environmental tableau offers an unforgettable and untranslatable experience to those who peer through the two small holes in the solid wooden door. |
October 2009 - January 2010 Arshile Gorky: A Retrospective celebrates the extraordinary life and work of Arshile Gorky (c. 1904-1948), a seminal figure in the movement toward abstraction that transformed American art. This exhibition, which includes about 180 works of art, surveys Gorky’s entire career from the early 1920s until his death by suicide in 1948. |
