Exhibition
Between Art and Life
The Contemporary Painting and Sculpture Collection
May 10, 2009–January 3, 2010
Presenting a diverse range of artworks made in the last four decades and highlighting the endeavors of many artists working today, Between Art and Life takes its title from a statement Robert Rauschenberg made in 1959 about his interest in working at the intersection of art and life. The exhibition reflects on the pluralistic landscape of contemporary art — one where artists investigate personal visions, both poetic and political, in relation to the world around them. Selected artists include Damien Hirst, Chris Johanson, Kerry James Marshall, Julie Mehretu, Ernesto Neto, Chris Ofili, Rauschenberg, Matthew Ritchie, Zhang Huan, and Andrea Zittel.
