American Watercolors, 1880–1990: A Conversation with Artist Richard Tuttle and Curators of the Exhibition

Join us for a discussion about our special exhibition American Watercolors, 1880–1990: Into the Light, featuring artist Richard Tuttle, who contributed to the exhibition catalogue, and members of the curatorial team.

On view at the Harvard Art Museums from May 20 to August 13, 2023, the exhibition presents more than a hundred compelling and rarely seen watercolors by both well-known and historically underrepresented American artists. All works are drawn from the Harvard Art Museums’ deep and diverse holdings. Expanding the canon and including many new acquisitions on view for the first time, the exhibition seeks to inspire conversations and enrich today’s practitioners.
