The AMA collaborated directly with Knox Martin himself to bring this first-of-its-kind exhibition to North Texas. A celebrated painter, sculptor and muralist, Martin’s work has been defined by his use of bright colors, bold architectural lines and artistic references to the female form. Martin’s extensive exhibition record includes his collected work in corporate and private collections worldwide, as well as museums including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Whitney, and the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden at the Smithsonian Institution.
Two years after this collaboration, Knox Martin passed away at the age of 99.
As a retrospective, Knox Martin: Living Legend was unique in many ways. The exhibit featured pieces from Martin’s famed SHE series and WOMAN series, in addition to many other incredible works from the artist’s distinguished career. The AMA also had the honor of being the first museum to exhibit works from Martin’s TOMATO watercolor series.
In its new space, the Arlington Museum of Art is multiplying its creative capacity to present a wide variety of traditional, immersive, and interactive art exhibitions from around the world. Pompeii: The Immortal City and One Point Five Degrees are just the beginning. Click here to learn more.
In just 24 hours, Pompeii and neighboring Herculaneum were buried by the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. Today, advanced scientific research continues to uncover the extraordinary art and artifacts of Pompeii and the Roman world. This exhibition includes the most recent of those discoveries.
