William Glackens, the first comprehensive exhibition since 1966 of this key American artist. William Glackens is organized and presented in collaboration with the Parrish Art Museum and the Barnes Foundation, where the exhibition will also travel. The show spans the artist's career, with works from the mid-1890s to the late 1930s. Glackens's oeuvre will be examined through more than 85 of the most important paintings and works on paper from some of America's finest private and public collections, including the Cleveland Art Museum, the Corcoran Gallery of Art, the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, the Metropolitan Art Museum, the National Gallery of Art, the Wadsworth Atheneum Art Museum, and the Whitney Museum of American Art, among others. Several works will be on view to the public for the first time since 1966. This long-overdue survey will introduce the artist to a new generation of viewers and aims to further scholarship on this pivotal figure in the history of American art.

Curated by noted independent writer and art historian Avis Berman, the exhibition focuses on Glackens's most distinctive and adventurous works to present the full breadth of his oeuvre. “Glackens combined an enchanting zest for life with an arsenal of sophisticated techniques. Yet, with no comprehensive survey of his work in nearly fifty years, a thorough reassessment of this key figure in American art is long overdue. This exhibition takes a much-needed look at the artist's estimable career and reveals him as a modern artist of ambition and spirit," Berman states about the artist and the exhibition.
