Hans Hofmann: Circa 1950
Curated by Michael Rush and Catherine Morris
The Lois Foster Wing

In 1950, at age 70, Hans Hofmann created several of his most significant abstract paintings including nine works never seen before in a U.S. museum. He also wrote his most personal and poignant thoughts on art. “The artist must be a fanatic to survive,” he wrote in 1950, “He must be dominated by a ferocious willpower that will direct every fiber of his being toward his creative effort.” This exhibition is supported by a generous grant from the Renate, Hans & Maria Hofmann Trust.

Saints and Sinners
Guest curated by Laura Hoptman, New Museum
The Sandra and Gerald Fineberg Gallery and Lower Rose Gallery

Saints and Sinners takes advantage of the rich diversity of the Rose Art Museum’s collection, as well as the distinctive architecture of its upper and lower atrium galleries to present a light-hearted look at a fundamental division in modern and contemporary art between the spiritual and the material, the eternal and the everyday, abstraction and the natural world.

Master of Reality
Curated by Joseph Wardwell
The Herbert and Mildred Lee Gallery

“Master of Reality” features the work of five New York-based artists who represent a culturally mixed approach to what curator Joe Wardwell calls “artificial realism:” Kanishka Raja, Angela Dufresne, Chie Fueki, Francesca DiMatttio, and Matthew Day Jackson. This exhibition is supported by a generous grant from the Poses Foundation.
