FENIMORE ART MUSEUM ANNOUNCES 2022 SCHEDULE OF EXHIBITIONS WITH A RETURN OF WYETH

 In 2022, Fenimore Art Museum in Cooperstown, New York, will present nine new exhibitions alongside its world-renowned collections of fine art, folk art, and Native American art, which includes The Eugene and Clare Thaw Collection of American Indian Art.

The summer is highlighted by two major exhibitions. Drawn from Life: Three Generations of Wyeth Figure Studies (May 7 – September 5, 2022) explores three generations of the venerable Wyeth family, primarily N.C., Andrew, and Jamie. This insightful exhibition examines the process of how each individually honed their expertise of rendering the human form through rigorous academic exercises conducted both in the studio and in some cases, the morgue. The second, Unmasking Venice: American Artists in the City of Water (May 28 – September 5, 2022) explores the two Venetian worlds depicted by American artists during the late 19th to early 20th centuries and includes work by a diverse group of artists, including Jane Peterson and Henry Ossawa Tanner.

Fenimore Art Museum, nestled on the shore of picturesque Otsego Lake, reopens for the 2022 season on April 1 offering visitors to the village of Cooperstown an opportunity to experience a wide variety of world-class art in an idyllic, small-town setting.
