Crystal Bridges – Abstractions on Paper: From Abstract Expressionism to Post Minimalism

A Partnership with the Arkansas Arts Center
Abstractions on Paper: From Abstract Expressionism to Post Minimalism

January 12 through April 29

Abstractions on Paper: From Abstract Expressionism to Post Minimalism features works from the collection of the Arkansas Arts Center of Little Rock, including prints and drawings. The works date from the late 1960s through the mid-90s, showcasing a range of different approaches and styles in dealing with the abstract. Artists represented include Americans such as Lee Krasner, Ellsworth Kelly, and Helen Frankenthaler, as well as international artists who lived or worked in the US and influenced the work of American artists. Some of the works in this diverse collection demonstrate the artists’ exploration of new media or styles, or were early sketches for later, larger works, providing insight into the methods and thought processes of some of the most well-known artists of the twentieth century. Exploring ideas of abstraction from gestural Abstract Expressionist works through geometric minimalist approaches and beyond, Abstractions on Paper offers a glimpse into the evolution of American art. This exhibition is sponsored by Curtis and Jackye Finch.
There will be no fee to view this exhibition.
