Current and Upcoming Exhibitions

European and American Art from the Collection

Beginning April 12, 2008

This exhibition will feature nearly 50 key works from the Museum's permanent collection, including Carnival, the famed 1943 Max Beckmann painting that was out on loan for more than a year. The UIMA celebrates the return of the Beckmann work from showings at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam and the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich in early 2007 through January, 2008, where it was a focal work in the exhibition "Max Beckmann in Amsterdam."

European and American Art from the Collection will also feature the Museum's three remarkable Philip Guston paintings, The Young Mother (1944), Edge (1960), and Ramp (1979). These works, which will be installed as a group, represent three distinct periods in the artist's oeuvre, including the mid-1940s social realism style he practiced during his time as a teacher at the UI.
