"Donald Baechler" February 9, 2011

The newest Contemporary Gallery exhibition features a large-scale installation by artist Donald Baechler accompanied by several of his collaged paintings. The New York Times described his work as “a distinctive fusion of Americana and popular culture.” Art in America wrote that Baechler’s seemingly ingenuous depictions of everyday objects and simple figures succeed by “tapping into our nostalgia for childhood.”
Baechler has had solo exhibitions in this country and abroad. His works are in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Guggenheim Museum, Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts and other museums in Amsterdam and Paris. The exhibition is organized by Elaine Berger for the museum’s Contemporary Collectors Circle.
