From June 7, 2012 to September 2, 2012 – Norton Museum of Art
Edward Gorey (1925-2000) is among the rare breed of artist whose work is as much beloved by children as it is by adults. His stories and illustrations carry an Edwardian sophistication while still able to impart the whimsy of an invented world that was all his own. The exhibition features more than 170 works by the master artist and author drawn from The Edward Gorey Charitable Trust. The exhibition includes selections from The Gashlycrumb Tinies, The Unstrung Harp, The Doubtful Guest, The Gilded Bat and other well-known publications. Featured are original pen-and-ink illustrations, preparatory sketches, unpublished drawings, and ephemera.

Clyfford Still 1949-A-No.1, 1949 Oil on canvas, 93 x 79 in. © Clyfford Still Estate

Until September 2, 2012 – Norton Museum
American Masters at the Norton:
Three exceptional canvases by Joan Mitchell and Clyfford Still, each a master of late twentieth century American painting,  will be on view at the Museum from March 22 through the Fall of  2012.  Still (1904 – 1980) is credited with laying the groundwork for the Abstract Expressionism movement, which is exemplified by a variety of styles from the pour paintings of Jackson Pollock to Mark Rothko’s fields of luminescent color. Until the opening of the Clyfford Still Museum last year, there were few public insitutions where his sublime, remarkable canvases could be seen. On view at the Museum are 1949-A-No.1 (1949) and PH-1033 (1976). Although younger than Still, Mitchell found her voice (as did many other artists of succeeding generations) within the style of gestural abstraction. While the very action of the manner of painting was powerful, Mitchell (and her peers) reinterpreted it, using paint directly from tubes, applying it with her hands and conceiving of compositions that worked from the center out, rather ethan over the entire surface of her canvas. These characteristics are seen in the untitled canvas by Mitchell (circa 1960) also on view.

October 2, 2010 – January 2, 2011 – Norton Museum of Art
The first exhibition of Storrs’s work in over 20 years, Machine-Age Modernist will highlight his sculptures, drawings, and paintings drawn from various national collections, including those of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden and the Corcoran Museum of Art, among other leading institutions and private lenders. One of America’s foremost modernists, John Storrs (1885–1956) produced a remarkable body of sculpture and was at the forefront of both European and American avant-garde movements. Storrs became part of a vibrant, early 20th-century culture enthralled with invention and stretching the visual parameters of art.

This exhibition was organized by the Boston Athenæum.
Major funding for this exhibition and the accompanying catalogue was provided by The Henry Luce Foundation, The Florence Gould Foundation, Furthermore: a program of the J. M. Kaplan Fund, and Cushing Academy.
Local presentation of this exhibition is made possible in part through the generosity of The Diane Belfer Endowment for Sculpture, The Priscilla and John Richman Endowment for American Art and the State of Florida, Department of State, Division of Cultural Affairs, the Florida Arts Council, and the National Endowment for the Arts.
