SCHEDULE OF UPCOMING EXHIBITIONS

Fever Pitch: New Work from the Center for Emerging Visual Artists.  This exhibition presents the opportunity to experience cutting edge art, including photographs, paintings, and installation works, by up-and-coming artists active in the region.  These artists are all current or former fellows of the Center for Emerging Visual Artists, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  On display January 27 through March 4, 2007.

Art in the ’Toon Age.  These paintings and works on paper showcase three generations of artists whose bright colors, bold linearity, and shorthand communication devices spring from the cartoon and animation styles of the 1940s and 1950s.  Featured artists include: Red Grooms, Ida Applebroog, and John Clem Clarke (1960s and 1970s); Luis Cruz Azaceta and Sue Williams (1980s); and Laylah Ali and Steve DeFrank (1990s).  On display March 24 through May 13, 2007.

Deceits and Fantasies: Contemporary Photography and the Garden.  This exhibition looks at a group of American and European photographers and their wide range of artistic responses to the garden, from reflecting upon it as a site of lyrical beauty to drawing upon it as a dark visual metaphor for the manipulation of nature.  A room-sized installation by Peter Fischli and David Weiss surrounds the viewer with projected images of the kaleidoscope colors of plants.  On display June 23 through September 16, 2007.

 
Waking Dreams: The Art of the Pre-Raphaelites from the Delaware Art Museum.  The long-anticipated return of the Samuel and Mary R. Bancroft Memorial Collection after its international tour, one of only a handful of collections in the United States to focus on the British Pre-Raphaelites.  Returns September 15, 2007.

Seeing the City: Sloan’s New York.  This exhibition draws on the wealth of Sloan material in the Delaware Art Museum’s collection and will be supplemented by loans from other museums and private collectors.  Sloan’s New York paintings, drawings, and prints clearly establish the painter’s ambulatory experience of the city and help to map his path through the streets and squares of New York.  On display October 20, 2007, through January 20, 2008.
