Wolfsonian-FIU: The Pursuit of Abstraction VIP Preview Party
October 13, 2016 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Thursday, October 13th from 7–9pm join us at The Wolfsonian-FIU for Members Only: The Pursuit of Abstraction VIP Preview Party. Members, press, and special guests are invited for an advance glimpse at the wonder of The Pursuit of Abstraction, an exhibition on modern-age spirituality! Explore the mystical works on view, enjoy specialty cocktails by Bacardi, and meet the curator behind the curtain, Matthew Abess.
In the first half of the twentieth century, many artists experimented with new forms of expression that resisted a secular understanding of the world rooted in rationality and scientific reason. The Pursuit of Abstraction presents works of fine and decorative art that seek to re-enchant the modern age through spirituality and mystical experience, drawing on the holdings of The Wolfsonian–FIU, The Jeri L. Wolfson Collection, and The Mitchell Wolfson, Jr. Collection of Decorative and Propaganda Arts Promised Gift. Exhibition runs from October 7, 2016 through April 16, 2017.
