Barkley L. Hendricks: Works from the Collection

American artist Barkley L. Hendricks was a great friend of the Nasher Museum. The landmark exhibition Barkley L. Hendricks: Birth of the Cool, the first career survey of his paintings, was organized at the Nasher in 2008. That exhibition traveled to four other museums around the country and brought renewed attention to Barkley’s important career.

For the next nine years, Barkley and his wife Susan visited Durham so often, they became part of the Nasher family. The six works in this gallery (three paintings and three photographs) are part of the Nasher Museum’s collection.
