An American Century of ArtMon 18 Nov, 3.30–4.30pm
At the Museum and Online
An exclusive talk for Members of the Ashmolean
Tea and cake will be served in the lecture theatre from 3pm.
With Dr Jim Harris, Teaching Curator at the Ashmolean
The Ashmolean, along with six other museums in the US, Brazil and Germany, is taking part in the Collection-in-Residence programme of the Terra Foundation for American Art.
The Museum was asked to select objects from the Foundation’s holdings to put alongside our own collection as a resource for teaching and research in American art history.
Dr Jim Harris, Teaching Curator at The Ashmolean, will explore this extraordinary loan of 37 works on paper, ranging from the delicate etchings and aquatints of Mary Cassatt through to the social realist art of the Ashcan and 14th Street schools, the government-commissioned work of the New Deal-era Federal Arts Project, and the new abstraction of the post-war period.
BOOKING
Tickets are £15 in person and £10 online. Tickets are available exclusively for Members of the Ashmolean Museum.
