The George Inness Gallery, which opened in 2001, is the crown jewel of the Montclair Art Museum...Though modest in scale, it’s the only gallery in the world dedicated to Inness, the Romantic artist, art critic, and mystic philosopher who lived and worked in the township from 1885 until his death, at age 69, in 1894.
This show will take the form of a large-scale, immersive installation of mixed media artworks and will be the artist’s first solo museum show in the New York City area. The exhibition will include a range of free-standing and wall-based works from the years 2016 to 2021.
Jersey City artist Woolpunk's 30-foot-wide, 13-foot-long, upcycled mixed-media banner, made largely from secondhand donations from the local community, drapes over the Montclair Art Museum’s Laurie Art Stairway and provides colorful commentary on excessive consumerism.
