The Woodmere Art Museum presents Flirting with Abstraction: Modern and Contemporary Art of Philadelphia Exhibition in the Promised Gift of Karen Segal and Woodmere’s Collection on view September 25, 2011 – January 8, 2012.
Flirting with Abstraction brings together some seventy-five works by Philadelphia artists who have used the language of abstraction—color, line, texture, scale, and form—to express the ideas, emotions, and sensuality of life’s experiences. Anchored by fine examples of abstract painting and sculpture from Woodmere’s collection, the exhibition also presents selections from the transformative promised gift of artist and Chestnut Hill resident Karen Segal, which will bring previously unimagined depth to the Museum’s holdings of twentieth- and twenty-first century art. Cell phone audio tour available.
