Wexner Center Director Sherri Geldin notes, “presenting the exquisitely focused Wexner family collection allows us to offer audiences-especially university students and scholars-an unparalleled look at some of the pioneering artists whose work in the first half of the 20th century transformed the cultural landscape of their time, and continues to resonate in our own.

'Those who take the opportunity to view and absorb it will count themselves incredibly lucky to have looked over the shoulder of such avid collectors.' 'A collection of this caliber and magnitude requires rare discipline, passion, and discernment,' Storr explains. Guest curated by Robert Storr, professor and dean of the Yale University School of Art and former senior curator of painting and sculpture at the Museum of Modern Art, the exhibition and an accompanying catalogue will bring fresh perspective to these artists and examine the figurative impulses that connect them. Learn more about visiting Transfigurations: Modern Masters from the Wexner Family Collection. This will be the first-ever public exhibition of this remarkable collection-and the Wexner Center is the one and only venue where you can intimately experience these timeless treasures. With its concentrated focus on these three 20th-century virtuosos, along with additional works by Edgar Degas, Willem de Kooning and Susan Rothenberg, the Wexner Family Collection is truly incomparable to any other private collection formed over the last 50 years. Transfigurations: Modern Masters from the Wexner Family Collection features an in-depth selection of paintings, sculptures, and drawings by Pablo Picasso, Alberto Giacometti, and Jean Dubuffet.

This fall, in celebration of our 25th anniversary, the Wexner Center for the Arts will mount an unprecedented exhibition of the personal collection of Leslie and Abigail Wexner.
