About the Talk
Join us on the opening day of Cecily Brown: Themes and Variations for engaging conversation about the artist with exhibition curator Simonetta Fraquelli and Nancy Ireson, Deputy Director for Collections and Exhibitions & Gund Family Chief Curator at the Barnes.
Organized by the Barnes and the Dallas Museum of Art, Themes and Variations surveys Cecily Brown’s pioneering career and affirms her status one of the most celebrated artists working in painting today. The exhibition features more than 30 paintings and related drawings that showcase the artist’s subversion of gendered tropes in art history and popular culture.
