BENTONVILLE (KFSM) — Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art will be adding several works of art, as well as a new exhibition, starting in late April.
The Pablo Picasso painting “Seated Woman In Chemise” will be on display starting April 29, according to a museum press release. The piece is on loan from the Tate Modern in London.
Another outdoor addition will be Philip Haas’ “The Four Seasons.” The sculptures will be installed along the Orchard Trail and in the museum courtyard, but smaller versions will also be added inside the museum’s Bridge Gallery. “The Four Seasons” modeled the “Spring,” “Summer,” “Autumn,” and “Winter” works by Italian Renaissance painter Giuseppe Arcimboldo.
“With the increased diversification of our collections, it is exciting to have the opportunity to showcase new acquisitions in an installation that specifically addresses the black experience in this country,” says Alejo Benedetti, Crystal Bridges curator for Black Unity. “This show encourages conversations about race. The unique voices of the artists unite visitors across a shared American identity—in this way black unity is inherently American unity.”
