Artists at Work

How do artists become inspired? How do they make art objects? How does place affect them? This major exhibition of more than 70 works demystifies the artistic process as it explores works in the Cantor collection by Edouard Manet, J. M. W. Turner, Thomas Hart Benton and Richard Serra, plus loaned works by contemporary artists Trevor Paglen, Garth Weiser, Hope Gangloff, and Rachel Owens, among others. The exhibition is thematically related to the Cantor installations Richard Diebenkorn: The Sketchbooks Revealed andEdward Hopper: New York Corner, and was inspired by the fall opening of the museum’s newest neighbor, the McMurtry Building for the Department of Art & Art History, where art will be both made and studied.
