REUNION: Highlights of the Collection
to
Taubman Museum of Art 110 Salem Avenue Southeast, Roanoke, Virginia
Featuring more than 50 works from the permanent collection, this year-long exhibition focuses on reuniting the audience with some of the most compelling and historically significant works from the Taubman Museum of Art’s holdings. Many of the works included in the reinstallation are destination pieces that people travel great distances to view, but of late have been in storage or loaned to other museums for important nationally touring shows. While Reunion is just a small sampling of the 2,155 works in the collection acquired over the last 60 years, it reveals the range and diversity of the many paintings, sculptures, works on paper, and decorative pieces that have often been hidden behind closed doors. It also seeks to reinvigorate familiar signature works by presenting them in new settings, paired with objects to create unexpected results for casual visitors and scholars alike.
