Drawing Inspiration

Is there ever a wrong way to display your art collection? What connections are you trying to reveal in the installation? In Drawn: From the Collection of Jack Shear, Jack Shear, photographer, curator and Executive Director of the Ellsworth Kelly Foundation, takes on an exploratory, free-flowing manner in which the forms, compositions and colors on the sheets respond to one another in a playful, non-traditional hang. Join Carter E. Foster, Blanton’s deputy director for curatorial affairs, and Christian Wurst, curatorial assistant, as they discuss Shear’s unconventional installation and remark on some of their favorite works in the exhibition.
