Ways of Seeing: Fourteen Artists

This presentation will feature a series of monographic galleries dedicated to 14 artists whose works reflect a variety of mediums, styles and approaches, from abstraction to figuration and from gesture to geometry. Among the featured artists are Dan Flavin, Philip Guston, Roy Lichtenstein, Agnes Martin, Joan Mitchell, Elizabeth Murray, Sigmar Polke, Gerhard Richter, Richard Serra and Cy Twombly. Through audio, video and written panels that incorporate the artists’ own words, visitors are invited to understand the artists as both innovative creators and as people, in their full complexity.

This floor will also include a multimedia timeline of the creation of the Fisher Collection that explores the origins of the collection and its journey into the public view. Using archival images, video and texts, the installation will tell the story of Doris and Donald Fisher and their love for art and artists. The installation offers visitors an unprecedented view of the couple’s drive to share their passion for art through this collection.
