Andrews Shaker Collection - Portland Museum of Art

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

          

Oct 27 thru Feb 05, 2012. Gather Up the Fragments: The Andrews Shaker Collection tells the story of the first and most avid collectors of the Shaker art, Faith and Edward Deming Andrews. From the 1920s through the 1960s, the Andrews actively pursued Shaker objects, collecting mainly from the Shakers themselves. Through careful documentation and scholarship, the Andrews illuminated these materials and their collection has bequeathed to future generations the most comprehensive body of evidence on the culture of the United Society of Believers. The exhibition, comprised of more than 200 objects, is the most comprehensive collection of Shaker materials ever assembled and will feature the work of Shaker communities in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and New York. Works on view include Shaker furniture, printed works, visual art, tools, textiles, and small crafts collected during four decades. Event #7246   Map + Directions   |   Report Update

2012 Winslow Homer Studio Tours & Exhibition

5 WInslow Homer Road
Scarborough, Maine
Phone: (207) 775-6148

          

Sep 22 thru Dec 30, 2012. On September 24, 2012, the Portland Museum of Art will open the Winslow Homer Studio to the public. One of the most significant locations in the history of American art, the Studio, located at Prouts Neck, Maine, is where the great American artist Winslow Homer (1836-1910) lived and painted many of his masterpieces from 1883 until his death. A National Historic Landmark, the renovated Winslow Homer Studio will celebrate the artist's life, encourage scholarship on Homer, and educate audiences to appreciate the artistic heritage of Winslow Homer and Maine. Tours of the Studio will begin from the Museum on Monday, September 24, 2012, and tickets will go on sale next summer on the Museum's website at the Title link above. Located on the rocky coast of Maine just 12 miles from the Portland Museum of Art, the Studio was purchased by the Museum in 2006 from Charles Homer Willauer, the great grand-nephew of Homer. To date the Museum's national capital campaign has raised $8.5 million toward a $10.5 goal to support the acquisition, preservation, interpretation, and endowment of the Studio. Concurrently, the Museum has been restoring the building to the period when Homer lived there from 1883 until his death in 1910. In celebration of the opening of the Studio, the Museum will present the exhibition Weatherbeaten: The Late Paintings of Winslow Homer, on view September 22 through December 30, 2012. Comprised of more than 30 major oils and watercolors painted during Homer's tenure in the Studio, Weatherbeaten will offer new perspectives on Homer's life in light of recent discoveries and scholarship about the Studio. Weatherbeaten will feature works from museums throughout the country including the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, D.C., and The Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute.

Between Past and Present: Historic Photographic Processes and the Winslow Homer Studio - Portland Museum of Art

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

          

Oct 06 thru Jan 20, 2013. In conjunction with the opening of the Winslow Homer Studio, the Museum will present an exhibition of contemporary photography made with a variety of historic processes available during Homer's lifetime. From tintypes to platinum prints, cyanotypes to gum bichromate prints, these historical processes in the hands of today's photographers simultaneously evoke the past and capture the present. The Museum has commissioned a group of photographers for this project including Abelardo Morell (camera obscura), Keliy Anderson-Staley (wet-plate collodion), Brenton Hamilton (cyanotype and gum bichromate), Tillman Crane (platinum prints), and Alan Vlach (salted paper prints). Images of the Homer Studio will include architectural studies, views of the landscape, interior scenes, and even still-life subjects of the few objects that survive from Homer's day. This exhibition is the sixth in a series of exhibitions called Circa that explores compelling aspects of contemporary art in the state of Maine and beyond.
