Exhibitions 2008Jan. 23 - April 27, 2008
The Telfair is pleased to present a selection of highlights from the contemporary collection of the North Carolina Museum of Art, an institution with one of the most respected collections of contemporary art in the region. The 30 works represented include a massive, vigorous oil painting by German master Gerhard Richter; an ominous mixed-media piece by Argentinean artist Guillermo Kuitca that evokes the memory of the thousands of people who vanished during Argentina’s reign of military terror during the 1970s; an iconic abstraction by Robert Motherwell; and a whimsical assemblage by American artist Devorah Sperber that represents an enlarged detail of the Mona Lisa by means of over 5,000 individual spools of colored thread. Contemporary photography is also well represented in the show, which includes photographs taken from North Carolina to New Orleans to Seattle, as well as Germany and Cuba. This exhibition is organized by the North Carolina Museum of Art. Sponsored, in part, by AT&T Real Yellow Pages. |
