EXHIBITIONS

Glass for the New Millennium:
Masterworks from the
Kaplan-Ostergaard Collection

Through March 7, 2017

Palm Springs Art Museum in Palm Desert, The Galen

Inspired by its ability to absorb, transmit, and reflect light, an array of global makers use glass to express concept and content as never before. Drawn from the Southern California collection of David Kaplan and Glenn Ostergaard, this exhibition celebrates and showcases objects by the most dynamic artists in the field today. With artists from more than ten countries, the exhibition traces the history of studio glass and heralds its future as a major sculptural medium. A 127-page illustrated hardcover exhibition catalogue available. $45. Click here for more information.

Go West! Art of the American Frontier from
the Buffalo Bill Center of the West
 Through Monday, February 20, 2017
 Clayes III Wing, Palm Springs Art Museum  
 Featuring 90 works by artist-explorers and Plains Indian tribes, it chronicles a pivotal period from 1830-1930 in which cultures were merging, clashing, and finding fortune or hardship in a changing American landscape. Paintings and sculptures by George Catlin, Albert Bierstadt, Frederic Remington, Charles Russell, and N.C. Wyeth document the journeys that would solidify our popular understanding of the American West. Objects made by Sioux, Cheyenne, and other Native American tribes reflect the rich cultural heritage of the Native peoples who struggled against encroachment into their lands. A 175-page illustrated hard-cover exhibition catalogue available. $65. Click here for more information.
Albert Bierstadt (American, born Germany, 1830-1902). The Last of the Buffalo, ca. 1888. Oil on canvas, 60.25 x 96.5 inches. Buffalo Bill Center of the West, Cody, Wyoming, USA. Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney Trust Fund Purchase. 2.60

MetaModern
Through Sunday, February 26, 2017
Palm Springs Art Museum Architecture and Design Center
Modernist design-that once-radical break with the past-is now itself a thing of history. Indeed, contemporary artists often view modern designs as icons and incorporate them into their own work. The result is meta-modernism, in which the original source is changed and abstracted, and the outcome is self-referential. Using classic elements in new configurations, artists explore the concept of modernism as a style in the playful spirit of critique and homage. A 132-page illustrated hard-cover exhibition catalogue available. $35. Click here for more information.
