The works on view comprise the trademark landscapes and still lifes, abstract and representational, of the two artists who both were considered ground-breaking in their creative approaches to their art and subjects.
Tomorrow, Saturday, November 7, the museum is presenting "Circles of Friendship: Freilicher and Wilson", which combines poetry with moving and still images of the artists' lives. The event, scheduled to begin at 11:00 a.m., is ticketed. On Thursday, November 12, curator Alicia Longwell gives a noon-time lecture, "Brain Food: Alicia Longwell on Jane Freilicher and Jane Wilson"; this event also is ticketed.
