50 Works for 50 States - Portland Museum of Art

7 Congress Square
Portland, Maine 04101
Phone: (207) 775-6148

May 28 thru Jul 25, 2010. Herbert Vogel, a postal clerk, and his wife Dorothy Vogel, a librarian, managed to build one of the most important contemporary art collections in history with very modest means. After more than 40 years of collecting art, they decided to start giving the collection away. The Portland Museum of Art is the recipient of 50 works from a national gifts program entitled The Dorothy and Herbert Vogel Collection: Fifty Works for Fifty States. The best-known works in the Vogel Collection are examples of minimal and conceptual art, but they also include pieces of a figurative and expressionist nature. Primarily a collection of drawings, the collection also includes paintings, sculptures, photographs, and prints by artists mainly working in the United States. This exhibition will feature a selection of the works from the Vogel gift which includes work by artists such as Will Barnet, Richard Tuttle, Claudia De Monte, and Steve Keister.   Map + Directions   |   Report Update

Portland, Maine 04101
Phone: (207) 775-6148

Jun 24 thru Sep 12, 2010. From the collection of the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford, Connecticut, American Moderns will showcase 100 works on paper by nationally recognized artists such as Edward Hopper, John Marin, and Rockwell Kent. This is the first in-depth examination and presentation of the Atheneum's American modernist works on paper. Beginning with the Ashcan school, including works by John Sloan and William Glackens, the exhibition traces the emergence of American modernism and the circle of Alfred Steiglitz, concluding with strong examples of postwar realism, with works by Ellsworth Kelly and Andrew Wyeth.   Map + Directions   |   Report Update
