Member Preview Days of Agnes Pelton: Desert Transcendentalist

Mar 11–12, 2020

Floor 8

All members

Join us for a first look at Agnes Pelton: Desert Transcendentalist. Agnes Pelton (1881–1961) was a visionary symbolist who depicted the spiritual reality she experienced in moments of meditative stillness. Her isolation from the mainstream artworld meant that her paintings were relatively unknown during her lifetime and in the decades after. This exhibition of approximately forty-five works introduces the public to a little-known artist whose luminous, abstract images of transcendence are only now being fully recognized.

Wednesday and Thursday, March 11 and 12
12–6 pm

Standard admission for each category applies.
