September 2020-Ongoing
Mint Museum Uptown at Levine Center for the Arts
These are the first major changes in the galleries since the opening of the Mint Museum Uptown in 2010. This change includes the reinstallation of the entrance that provides access to both the American and Modern and Contemporary collections and is now dedicated to portraiture. Visitors will witness the shift as soon as they encounter the juxtaposition of a John Singleton Copley portrait and Kehinde Wiley's Phillip the Fair. Different mediums and periods spanning the 18th to the 21st centuries challenge viewers to consider how portraiture has been explored throughout time and the who, why, and how of those being depicted.As visitors move through subsequent galleries, they will be encouraged to think about how artists have engaged with other themes such as landscape, still life, and abstraction and how they have represented their point of view. The online resources below are by gallery space and provide information on the artist and when possible on the object itself.
The entrance gallery showcases various interpretations of the portrait from our American art and Contemporary art collections.
