UPCOMING EXHIBITIONS

MONOPRINTS: 20 DC ARTISTS
January 15 - February 26, 2011

The Kreeger Museum is proud to present Monoprints: 20 DC Artists, featuring one of five monoprints printed exclusively for the exhibition by twenty Washington, DC artists.  Although each artist works with a variety of media, the exhibition and printing process will bring them together in a collaboration that explores the art of the monoprint while showcasing the creativity of the contemporary Washington, DC art scene. Monoprints is curated by Judy A. Greenberg, Director of The Kreeger Museum, Marsha Mateyka of the Marsha Mateyka Gallery and Sam Gilliam who brought the artists together.  The artwork was printed at George Mason University School of Art and is sponsored by Millennium Arts Salon.  The exhibition will be on view at The Kreeger Museum from January 15 – February 26, 2011.

TOM WESSELMANN DRAWS
April 8- July 30, 2011

Director Judy A. Greenberg is pleased to announce that Tom Wesselmann Draws willl be on view at The Kreeger Museum from April 8 - July 30, 2011. Tom Wesselmann Draws is the most comprehensive exhibition of drawings by the artist that has ever been assembled. Many of the 108 works have never been seen outside the artist's studio in New York. In the 1960s, Tom Wesselmann was one the key leaders in the Pop Art Movement along with Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, James Rosenquist and Robert Indiana. He was a brilliant colorist, superior draftsman and innovator of new techniques, who devoted his life to his art and his family.

The exhibition, which covers drawings from Wesselmann's entire career, spanning 1959-2004, was originally curated in 2003 by Wesselmann and his wife Claire and encouraged by Emilio Steinberger of the Haunch of Venison Gallery, New York, NY. The Kreeger Museum will be exhibiting more than 60 works by the artist.
