New at the Nasher September 11, 2007

The Nasher Museum presents an installation of works acquired in recent years that reflect the museum's increased focus on contemporary art. These are significant works by international artists including Christian Boltanski, Petah Coyne, Marlene Dumas, Olafur Eliasson, Sean Landers, David Levinthal, Paul Pfeiffer, Kara Walker and Eve Sussman and The Rufus Corporation. In some cases, the works reflect relationships that the museum has built with artists through exhibitions here. All of the artists are living and have achieved global reputations; some are emerging and others well established. The exhibition includes a variety of media - painting, photography, sculpture, video and installation. Until now, these works have not been readily accessible to audiences in the Triangle region.
