Jill Hooper, William Lumpkins Add to the Excitement

Two new exhibitions highlight the summer schedule at the Greenville County Museum of Art. A selection of recent work by Charleston artist Jill Hooper will be available through September 26, 2010. While Hooper is a realist painter, enjoy a sampling of abstract watercolors by early modernist William Lumpkins through August 15.

This newest examination of Andrew Wyeth: The Greenville 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.

Families will take center stage as the Museum offers its annual Art Adventure! on Saturday, July 17, from 2–4 pm. The 2010 event centers on A Portrait of Greenville, the stunning exhibition that brings together works created over the past 25 years, all depicting Greenville County.

Local Color: Landscapes from the Southern Collection, is an exhibition that brings together important historical paintings that include a rare landscape by John James Audubon and a view of the Cumberland River by Ralph E.W. Earl, best known as a portraitist for Andrew Jackson.

For details on these and other opportunities, see the Calendar page.

The 25th Anniversary Museum Antiques Show will support the purchase of works in both A Portrait of Greenville and Local Color. The show, set for October 15–17, 2010, welcomes Andrew Wyeth's granddaughter, Victoria, as the keynote speaker on October 15. Other events include the 25th Anniversary Forum on Saturday, October 16. Featuring top antiques dealers who are associated with the show, the Forum will be an interactive look at antiques, 2010. More details available in the Antiques Show web site.
