African Ceramics

The nearly 80 works in this exhibition showcase the diversity of purpose and style in functional African ceramics. Including works from cultures across the continent, the show is derived largely from a promised gift of nearly 100 African works from an anonymous New York-based collector.

European and American Art from the Collection

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 Power of Line

Artists in the European and American Etching Revival looked at printmaking in a new way—drawing inspiration from artists such as the American-born, British-based James Whistler. This exhibition examines the work of several well known American etchers, including Thomas Moran, Henry Farrer, Charles Adams Platt, and Mary Nimmo Moran.
