Wyeth Collection with a New Look: Still Center Stage

Like a menu at a great restaurant, museum installations often offer familiar ingredients composed in fresh and tantalizing ways. New pairings empower viewers to see more deeply as twenty-nine watercolors are presented in Andrew Wyeth: The Greenville Collection.

This newest examination of the Wyeth collection juxtaposes paintings such as Eagle Quill, 2007, painted when Wyeth was 90, with Whale Rib, 1993. The exhibition, on view through September 26, also features favorite landscapes and portraits of Wyeth's family and neighbors. The Wyeth Collection is one of the reasons Greenville’s museum is known across the country.

Although some galleries are closed in preparation for the opening of four exhibitions in late February, the Museum also offers Art & Artists of South Carolina, a selection of historic art with ties to the state of South Carolina. It includes works that span two centuries in telling the story of American art history.

Regular hours
The Museum is open Tuesday–Saturday from 11–5, remaining open until 8 on Thursday evenings. On Sundays, we’re open from 1–5. Galleries are closed on Mondays and major holidays.
