The Changing Face of the Permanent Collection

Exhibition Website

Mar 1 2019 - Dec 31 2020

Headlining this reinstallation of the permanent collection is the Museum’s latest acquisition, Kehinde Wiley’s monumental new portrait Jacob de Graeff (2018) from the artist’s Kehinde Wiley: Saint Louis exhibition. Wiley’s extraordinary painting will anchor a new portrait gallery that also features works by Anthony van Dyck, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and George Bellows.

 A second section of portraits will explore the genre during America’s Colonial period with the Museum’s extraordinary George Washington painting and its rarely seen John Singleton Copleys all on view. 

Other galleries focus on a variety of topics such as the still life, scenes of urban life, animal paintings, landscapes, seascapes, and the body and the nude. Featured artists will include Georgia O’Keeffe, Stuart Davis, William Merritt Chase, George Inness, Gustave Courbet, Eugène Boudin, Thomas Moran, Karen LaMonte, Alice Neel and Andy Goldsworthy.​
