In Love and In Art: Jim Reid, Gina Rorai, Peggy Taylor Reid, and David Urban

November 23, 2024 – April 6, 2025

 

Curated by Sharona Adamowicz-Clements

Drawn from the permanent collection, works by two contemporary artist couples: Jim Reid and Peggy Taylor Reid as well as Gina Rorai and David Urban will focus on moments in the artists’ creative development and consider where stylistic parallels or thematic crossovers may arise. What advantages do artist couples experience when they share a profession and a life?

In Love and In Art considers the artmaking of artists in intimate and long-term relationships, and questions whether that may have an impact on the trajectory of the individual artist’s practice.
