Back to Basics Exhibition at the Weisman Musem

The works of art exhibited in the "Back to Basics" exhibition came from the collection of the Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation.  The 46 large-scale works explores the range of geometric abstraction from 1960 Colorfield painting, Hard-Edge and Minimalism to the present.  The artist's goal was to reach something vital and fundamental in the human experience in the most basic way.  

The exhibition continues Tuesday-Sunday, 11 am to 6 pm, through December 6.  The museum is closed on Mondays, and November 26 & 27 for Thanksgiving.
