MIRO/DUBUFFET/BASQUIAT- March 13, 2010 through May 24, 2010
Works by Joan Miró, Jean Dubuffet and Jean-Michel Basquiat are shown together for the first time. The artists do not share generation nor culture, but they do share a confrontational antagonism to the traditional and academic, resulting in art that is raw, bold and forthright.
