AEIVA Presents Outside Lines: Selections from AEIVA’s Permanent Collection
Outside Lines explores the dynamic relationship between color and line in works from AEIVA’s permanent collection ranging from the 1950s to 2020. Bringing together works highlighting the visual and optical effects of color, as well as color’s ability to convey meaning, the exhibition challenges the supremacy of line and likeness, and celebrates color’s associations with the everyday, from popular culture and mass media to femininity and kitsch.
Artists included are Joseph Albers, Willie Cole, William Cushner, Tomory Dodge, Howard Finster, Sam Gilliam, Peter Halley, Pamela Jorden, Sharon Louden, Sally Mann, Jiha Moon, Odili Donald Odita, Sheila Mae Pinkel, Letitia Quesenberry, Sonja Rieger, Bob Thompson, and Juan Uslé.
Peter Halley, Core, 1991. Silkscreen with lithography on Coventry Rag paper. Collection of the Abroms-Engel Institute for the Visual Arts, UAB.
