A trip to Neuberger Museum of Art and Pepsico Sculpture Gardens is scheduled for Saturday, August 20.
We will visit the sculpture gardens first, have lunch at a local restaurant, and then visit the museum with a docent tour.
The Pepsico Sculpture Gardens, across from SUNY Purchase, has 45 pieces of outdoor sculpture in beautiful settings. The collection includes works by major 20th-century artists including Rodin, Moore, Calder, and Pomodoro.
The Neuberger Museum, on the SUNY Purchase campus, has collections of modern, contemporary, and African art. The current special exhibitions are:
Tomashi Jackson - “SLOW JAMZ”; and Milton Avery - “Watercolors.”
“SLOW JAMZ” is a dynamic multimedia experience with floor-to-ceiling projections and soundtracks; “Light, color, sound, and texture are vehicles to explore issues of injustice…”
“Watercolors” by Milton Avery illustrate his vibrant, emotive color palettes and balance between realism and abstraction. The artist is known for his influence on other artists with his focus on color relationships.
This looks like a full day of great things to see.
Sign-up is in the Trips Book located at the front desk.
