In June 2016, Artist Anne Lindberg was commissioned to create a site-specific installation in the King Gallery. The work, "tilted sky," is composed of Egyptian cotton thread and staples. The work will remain on long-term view as part of the Museum's collection.
An outdoor installation composed of 23 printed "stones" that, when encoded, reveal a narrative of the landscape. This installation will be installed on the grounds of the Art Museum and Phelps Grove Park and is a collaboration between the Museum and the Springfield-Greene County Park Board.
This exhibit features 45 large-scale portraits of homeless individuals from our community taken by local photographer Randy Bacon. Each portrait includes a personal narrative detailing the portrait subject's unique circumstances leading to their homelessness.
At the end of the 19th century, Anders Leonard Zorn (1860-1920) was one of the most well-known portraitists in France, England, and the United States. His talent, and knack for meeting the right people, led him to paint portraits of international celebrities including three U.S. Presidents, Swedish royalty, American railroad tycoons, and renowned artists. This exhibition will present all 96 etchings from the Museum’s permanent collection, showcasing the full collection for the first time in many years.
