ROBERT MOTHERWELL: PURE PAINTING

This exhibit will be the first presentation in more than 25 years to fully examine the artist’s mastery. Motherwell emerged on the New York art scene during the 1940s, doing abstract figurative works. Guest curator Susan Davidson has chosen pieces that will highlight the key series that defined Motherwell’s work and offer new insights into his evolution as an artist. The Modern has exhibited Motherwell’s work before, including in 1991, the final retrospective done during his lifetime.

Where: The Modern, 3200 Darnell St.
When: Through Sept. 17
