Guest Curator Phyllis Tuchman will take guests through Robert Motherwell: The East Hampton Years, 1944-1952, calling attention to Motherwell’s early work and exploring the contributions that he made to the Abstract Expressionist movement in the context of our East End artist’s community. Focusing on 25 important works from 13 major museums and 5 private collections, a show devoted to the paintings Motherwell made during those remarkable years has never been mounted. The exhibition will surprise even those who think they know this pioneering American abstractionist’s art well.
