One of the most impressive collections of artwork in the world is now on display less than a half hour from Fayetteville. And this is on top of Crystal Bridges already mind-blowing permanent collection.
Van Gogh to Rothko: Masterworks from the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, an exhibit featuring over 76 works by 73 incredibly influential artists from the 19th century to the present, was unveiled last week at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art.
The show, originally titled Sincerely Yours: Treasures of the Queen City features work spanning from the Post-Impressionism period of the late 1800s, though Cubism, Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism, Pop Art, and Op Art of the 1960s.
Some of the most influential artists in history are represented, with important work from Vincent Van Gogh, Juan Gris, Pablo Picasso, Georgia O’Keeffe, Salvador Dalí, Frida Kahlo, Andy Warhol, Paul Gauguin, Willem de Kooning, Robert Motherwell, Marc Chagall, Jackson Pollock, Georgia O’Keeffe, Mark Rothko and others included in the traveling show.
The work was collected by the world-renowned and visionary Albright Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, New York. Crystal Bridges is one of only four galleries in the world that will play host to the show, set to remain on display at the museum through June 1.
Admission to the new exhibit is $10 to the public, and free for members and youth under 18 years old.
