New Exhibit: Strange Bodies @ Hirshhorn
The newest temporary exhibit opens at the Hirshhorn Museum tomorrow, December 11, 2008. The new exhibit is called “Strange Bodies: Figurative Works from the Hirshhorn Collection.” The Strange Bodies exhibit is expected to remain on display until November 8, 2009.
This new exhibit is described by the Smithsonian website as follows: “This exhibition brings together some of the most praised and popular examples of figuration, such as Untitled (Big Man) by Ron Mueck, from the Hirshhorn collection to show how expressionistic and surrealistic impulses toward human representation have evolved from the early and mid-20th century to recent decades. Also included is a small gallery devoted to a survey of works on paper and paintings by George Grosz — works that demonstrate a socially charged use of the figure.”
