Bob Dylan: Retrospectrum Opens Nov. 30 At Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum


The Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum at Florida International University (FIU) is proud to announce that Retrospectrum, the most expansive and detailed exhibition of Bob Dylan’s artwork will have its U.S. debut at the Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum on November 30, 2021. This survey of Dylan’s work runs through April, 17 2022 and will coincide with Art Basel Miami (2nd – 5th December 2021), The Wolfsonian Public Humanities Lab (WPHL), Florida International Universities Humanities and arts hub, will host a symposium exploring the myriad facets of Bob Dylan’s career and cultural influence to celebrate the exhibition.


The Retrospectrum exhibition is a survey of work that includes more than 120 of Dylan’s paintings, drawings and sculptures, spanning six decades of his life. The exhibition’s curation has been designed to showcase the development and diversity in Dylan’s visual practice, while immersive and interactive displays will simultaneously illuminate the context of that development in tandem with that of his musical and literary canon.

“When I saw the catalogue representing the beautiful and comprehensive Bob Dylan: Retrospectrum exhibition that premiered in Shanghai in 2019, I knew immediately that I wanted to bring this iconic artist’s rarely seen visual works to South Florida, to be enjoyed by our students, our broader community and visitors from across the country and around the globe,” said Mark B. Rosenberg, President, Florida International University.
