Passages in Modern Art: 1946 – 1996 Group Show

Passages in Modern Art: 1946–1996 brings together objects from the DMA’s acclaimed contemporary collection, including recent acquisitions, rarely seen works, and newly conserved paintings and sculpture. Art by such iconic artists as Bernd and Hilla Becher, Philip Guston, Jasper Johns, Yayoi Kusama, and Mark Rothko is presented alongside their lesser-known contemporaries. Accompanying Passages in Modern Art are four focused installations that include Nina Canell’s piece Mid-Sentence; art created in the 1960s and 70s by artists Alejandro Puente, Bridget Riley, Jack Whitten, and Sam Gilliam ; an important and visually complex photographic work by Robert Gober; and, finally, the installation Walter De Maria: Counterpoint.
