Either Side of Gray: Exploring Black and White

Start date: Friday, March 28, 2008
Event is ongoing: Until Sunday, June 29, 2008

A cutting-edge educational museum, the Dallas Museum of Art continues to expand its training programs as the 2007–2008 class of McDermott Curatorial Interns organizes the first-ever intern-curated exhibition. Nearly 30 works of art from the Museum’s permanent collection are featured in the exhibition, which delves into the infinite manifestations achieved through black and white and its use in art around the world, across time and over stylistic boundaries. Highlights of the exhibition are a Piet Mondrian self-portrait; a never-before exhibited Peruvian painted cloth, c. A.D. 800; Phil/Fingerprint, a Chuck Close painting; Print #1, a Robert Mapplethorpe photograph; Cupid, a Josiah Wedgwood Factory sculpture; an African mask; and works from other cultures and by prominent artists.

Curated by the 2007–2008 class of McDermott Curatorial Interns and organized by Dr. Dorothy Kosinski, former Senior Curator of Painting and Sculpture and The Barbara Thomas Lemmon Curator of European Art.
