2 min read

Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art on Tuesday announced its temporary exhibitions for 2015, which include works by American artists Jamie Wyeth and Andy Warhol and an exhibition featuring works by some of the greatest names in art, among them Vincent van Gogh, Jackson Pollock and Joán Miró.

The Bentonville museum will host “Van Gogh to Rothko: Masterworks From the Albright-Knox Art Gallery” Feb. 21-June 1, bringing together “75 artworks by more than 39 influential artists from the late 19th century to the present.”

The exhibition features works by Vincent van Gogh, Jackson Pollock, Joán Miró, Andy Warhol and Mark Rothko. The pieces were chosen from the collection of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, New York. A Crystal Bridges news release described the gallery as “one of the finest collections of 20th century art in the country.”

“‘Van Gogh to Rothko’ traces the story of avant-garde art from late 19th century Modernism through Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art in the late 1950s and early 60s,” the museum said. The exhibit will also feature works by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Paul Gauguin, as well as pieces by Willem de Kooning and Robert Motherwell.

It is the first time many of these artworks have toured in decades, the museum said.

Other exhibitions:

  • “Game Fishes of the United States,” April 4-Aug. 10, an exhibit of “one of the largest and most spectacular of American sporting books.”
  • “Warhol’s Nature,” July 4-Oct. 5, an exhibition of works from the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh that “will explore the artist’s surprising, lifelong engagement with nature as subject matter.”
  • “Jamie Wyeth,” July 25-Oct. 5, featuring portraits of subjects including John F. Kennedy, Rudolf Nureyev and Andy Warhol, among other works.
  • “Alfred H. Maurer: At the Vanguard of Modernism,” Oct. 10-Jan. 4, 2016, an exhibition including more than 70 of the works of Alfred H. Maurer, “one of the first American Modernists and one of the most versatile American artists.”
