The wide-ranging show entitled, “The Rose at Brandeis: Works from the Collection” opens on Oct. 28th and will present the breadth of the collection by including pieces from dozens of artists who represent different historical periods, from Willem de Kooning, to Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, Morris Louis, Andy Warhol, Robert Motherwell, Helen Frankenthaler, Max Weber, Cindy Sherman, Kiki Smith, Larry Rivers, Philip Guston, Frank Stella, Jennifer Bartlett, Hans Hoffman, Louise Nevelson and Elsworth Kelley, among others. The exhibition will also explore the depth of The Rose’s holdings by focusing on groupings of artworks by several artists, to expose both artistic development and the process of collecting. “The length of the exhibition, running from October through May 23, 2010, will allow students and the public unprecedented access to some of the key artworks in the collection,” said show co-curator and Director of Museum Operations Roy Dawes. “It will allow museum visitors time to properly see, contemplate, study, revisit and gain perspective on this stupendous collection.” “The Rose at Brandeis” coincides with the Oct.1 publication of the first comprehensive catalogue of the museum’s collection. An effort that has been in the works for several years, “The Rose Art Museum at Brandeis” (Abrams) includes commentary from current and former Rose staff, and Brandeis faculty members. The catalogue documents a collection that represents major cultural movements of the past five decades, with a particular strength in American art of the 1960s and ‘70s. The catalogue and exhibition provide a look inside The Rose’s extensive collection as the museum approaches its 50th anniversary in 2011.
