Laguna Art Museum unveils an exhibition showcasing nearly 50 newly acquired artworks. This collection marks a significant expansion of the museum’s permanent collection, focusing on pieces by influential California artists, works exploring the nexus of art and nature, and those by a diverse range of California-based artists with a particular effort to increase representation of women. Additionally, the exhibition aims to broaden contemporary themes by featuring artworks created after the year 2000.
The artworks, spanning over a century of creation, encompass a diverse array of mediums including sculpture, mixed media, film, painting, and large-format color photography. Notably, a series of John Humble’s photographs titled “Sunday Morning” will be highlighted as a standalone mini-exhibition.
More than simply displaying these new acquisitions, the exhibition serves as a gesture of gratitude to the generous individuals who donated these artworks to the Laguna Art Museum. Among the artists featured are Jay McCafferty, Woods Davy, Roger Kuntz, Astrid Preston, Millard Owen Sheets, Craig Stecyk, and newcomers to the collection such as Mark Bennett, Sergei Bongart, Carole Caroompas, Rosson Crow, Fannie Eliza Duvall, John Frost, Jimi Gleason, Jennifer Gunlock, Grace Carpenter Hudson, Tom Lamb, Robert Landry, Malerie Marder, Carter Mull, Evan Nesbit, Deborah Oropallo, Phil Paradise, Rozeal, Richard Roth, Heidi Schwegler, Robert Standish and Patrick Wilson.
