Focus: Robert Motherwell

To coincide with the opening of the much-anticipated Clyfford Still Museum, the department of Modern and Contemporary Art will present a selection of paintings and drawings from its collection of some 20 works by abstract expressionist painter Robert Motherwell. This extraordinary collection spans the artist’s career from 1944 to 1990 and includes masterpieces such as the artist’s last Elegy to the Spanish Republic.

Motherwell's works-on-paper artworks will go off view after May 27, 2012, while the paintings will continue to be on view into 2013.
