Sedona Surreal: Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning in the American Southwest

In 1946, Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning left New York City, then the center of the Euro-American art world, for Sedona, Arizona. Over the next ten years, they created some of the most significant works of their careers in this small desert town. 

Sedona Surreal will reunite the paintings, sculptures, and other artworks that they made there, exploring the construction of artistic modernism far from a large urban center. 

It will be the first museum exhibition devoted to Ernst and Tanning’s pivotal time in the Southwest.
