Inside Look: Selected Acquisitions from the Georgia Museum of Art
Saturday, Sep 18, 2021 — Sunday, Jan 30, 2022
With more than 17,000 objects in its collection, the museum cannot show everything all the time. This exhibition features many previously unseen works of art, including new gifts and purchases across our curatorial departments that have filled critical gaps in the permanent collections. Visitors will discover examples from the Femfolio portfolio, featuring prints by artists such as Faith Ringgold and Miriam Schapiro; a suite of abstract prints by Sophie Taeuber-Arp; selections from the John and Sara Shlesinger Collection of contemporary art; Russian portraits from the Belosselsky-Belozersky family; important abstract and self-taught objects by African American artists; photographs of celebrity culture and everyday life in 1960s England by Lewis Morley; and scenes of the resilient communities of Appalachia by photographers Milton Rogovin and Arthur Tress.
