backstory: On the move
If you’re visiting another museum and see a work that looks familiar, give it a second glance—it may be ours, out on loan.
The Neuberger Museum of Art’s collection and curatorial projects travel often as we share our artists’ work with other institutions. Each loan and collaboration extends the Neuberger’s story into new spaces and communities, connecting our artists with audiences across North America and beyond.
Earlier this fall, Rosalie D. Gagné: A Contemporary Alchemist closed on September 7 at the Musée d’art de Joliette in Québec, Canada, following an eight-month run. Organized by the Neuberger and curated by Patrice Giasson, our Alex Gordon Curator of Art of the Americas, the exhibition debuted here last fall before traveling north—back to the artist’s home province.
Meanwhile, three works by Ben Shahn—Blind Accordion Player (1945), Blind Botanist #2 (1954), and India (1943)—have been on view at The Jewish Museum in New York as part of Ben Shahn: On Nonconformity. As part of our ongoing Art Trek program for members at the Contributor Circle level and above, guest curator Laura Katzman led a private tour of the exhibition, offering fresh insights into Shahn’s life and work. If you haven’t seen it yet, the show closes this Sunday, October 26.
We’re proud to see our collection and curatorial initiatives represented in museums here and abroad—a reflection of the Neuberger’s growing reach and the strength of our collaborations.
