Out of the Vault: 95 Years of Collecting at MAM
August 8, 2009 - August 31, 2010
http://www.montclairartmuseum.org
Marking the occasion of MAM’s 95th anniversary, and its distinction as the first institution in New Jersey designed as a museum, the exhibition celebrates the Museum’s unique focus on American and Native American art in this installation of over 60 works of art. The works selected include 23 recent acquisitions and nearly 40 familiar treasures. Twenty-one of the works in the show have never before been on view at the Museum. Many of the most recent acquisitions are by living artists, a testament to the origins of the Museum as an institution that collected the contemporary art of its time, with the donation of such works as Childe Hassam’s Summer at Cos Cob (1902) by MAM co-founder William T. Evans in 1915.
