Bruce Museum Tour & Lunch: American Stories from Sargent to O’Keeffe

Wednesday, October 28, 11am-1:30pm Don't miss this special opportunity to join an exclusive tour of this highly anticipated new exhibition, followed by a private lunch at the museum. American Stories from Sargent to O’Keeffe brings forty-five masterworks of American art to Greenwich and the region through an extraordinary partnership with The Newark Museum of Art. Newark’s American art collection ranks among the finest in the nation, with exceptional holdings spanning from the colonial period and Hudson River School to the present day. Audiences will experience iconic paintings including Georgia O’Keeffe’s White Flower on Red Earth, No. 1, Edward Hopper’s The Sheridan Theatre, portraits by John Singer Sargent and Mickalene Thomas, luminous landscapes by Albert Bierstadt and Marsden Hartley, and powerful sculptures by Alexander Calder, Louise Nevelson, and Martin Puryear. Coinciding with the nation’s 250th anniversary, American Stories is organized into four sections—Identity, Belonging, Belief, and Making—themes that reveal how artists shape our understanding of America, past and present. A full year of dynamic programming will include in-gallery performances by dancers, musicians, and writers, as well as panel discussions and lectures by thought leaders highlighting fresh perspectives on American art and culture. This exhibition was organized collaboratively by the Bruce Museum and The Newark Museum of Art. Please meet at the Bruce Museum, 1 Museum Drive, Greenwich by 10:50am.
