Over more than six decades, Kuerner Farm in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania inspired nearly 1,000 artworks in a wide variety of genres and media by one of the most celebrated American artists of the 20th century, Andrew Wyeth. Andrew Wyeth at Kuerner Farm: The Eye of the Earth brings together over 40 works by Wyeth including some of the artist’s most iconic masterpieces from Kuerner Farm as well as exciting works drawn from Andrew and Betsy Wyeth’s private collection, including works that have never been on public display. Wyeth’s fondness towards Kuerner Farm, which stands a short walk from the artist’s studio, served as constant inspiration over his long, productive career. Immersed in the layers of the landscape, the farmhouse at its core, and the people who inhabited it (the Kuerner family), Wyeth produced a remarkable array of work, depicting one of the most prevailing connections in American art – the powerful connection between artist and place. Wyeth often spoke about the inspiration derived from walking and sketching the farm recalling, “The balance, the flash of that black thing, brought the image of the scene clear to my mind, and I recalled the marvelous amber color of the rich landscape and the lucid pond looking almost like the eye of the earth reflecting everything in creation.” Co-organized by the Brandywine Museum of Art and the Reynolda Museum of American Art, Andrew Wyeth at Kuerner Farm: The Eye of the Earth marks the 25th anniversary of Kuerner Farm’s transition from a family home to a public site visited and sketched by thousands annually. Generous support for the exhibition is provided by Wells Fargo.
