Constructed Reliefs from the Maurice and Sarah Lipschultz Collection
(Ongoing)
Names for this body of work have changed over the decades. Charles Biederman (1960-2004), one of the best-know artists represented here, used the term Constructionism to describe his work, something related to and yet distinct from the Russian avant-garde art movement of the 1910s and 1920s known as Constructivism. Later, the term Structurism was used. By the late 1970s, however, Biederman settled on the simpler term: New Art.

The Indigo Room or Is Memory Water Soluble?
An Installation by Edouard Duval-Carrié in Commemoration of Haitian Independence
(Ongoing)
This installation from the heart and hands of Edouard Duval-Carrié, with the assistance of students from the Dillard Center for the Arts, bespeaks the artist’s ineradicable connection to the island of his birth. Knowledgeable about Vodou since childhood, Duval-Carrié incorporates the religion’s theatrical sacred personages as players in his visual dramas of upheaval and transcendence. Migration out of Haiti, with consequences for the country left behind, is a persistent theme.

Pablo Picasso Ceramics/Carlos Luna Paintings
(ongoing)
This installation is a ‘conversation’ between one of the most innovative artists of the twentieth century, Pablo Picasso (1881-1973), and a talented young artist from Cuba, Carlos Luna (born 1969). Both artists had to leave their native countries in order to develop as artists; Picasso left Spain for France in the beginning of the 20th century; Luna left Cuba for Mexico at the end of that same century. The two artists share a common heritage in the art of Spain, a passion for art-making, and although they live/d on different continents at different times, they share in the expression of common, universal themes.

Ongoing Exhibition
In the late 1940s, following the end of World War II, a group of artists living in downtown New York created an informal gathering place they called the Eighth Street Club. Conrad Marca-Relli was one of the founding members along with Willem and Elaine DeKooning, Mark Rothko, Robert Motherwell and Barnet Newman, all hailed as pioneers of Abstract Expressionism, the first internationally recognized art movement to originate in North America. Drawing on the artists’ unconscious and individual abstract styles, Abstract Expressionist painting is characterized by uniform all-over composition and significant scale. Marca-Relli’s contribution—here exemplified by Night Rider (1959) — was to raise the medium of collage to the scale and complexity associated with the painting of this ground-breaking movement.
