Abstract Expressionist Works on Paper
Graphic Arts Gallery

Abstract Expressionist artists are best known for their large-scale, sometimes larger-than-life-sized paintings. This exhibition offers an intimate look at smaller works on paper by artists such as Paul Jenkins, Robert Motherwell, Joan Mitchell, Adolph Gottlieb, and Sam Francis. With the exhibition of Abstract Expressionist paintings and sculptures in the Hodge and Temporary Exhibition Galleries (on view until August 19), viewers will have a rare opportunity to compare works by the same artists in different media.
