Yale Art Gallery has hundreds of new paintings, sculptures and artifacts to show off. Come along with Jock Reynolds for a peek.
p(clear). The gallery has opened a new exhibit called Art for Yale: Collecting for a New Century. The exhibit highlights, throughout the building, more than 300 objects out of almost 15,700 pieces (!) the gallery has amassed in the past decade, one of the most acquisitive periods in its 175 years.
p(clear). The show opened this week. Reynolds, the gallery’s director, and Chief Curator Susan Metheson led reporters on a preview tour Tuesday.

While some of the paintings and objects are scattered throughout the building, two first-floor spaces are dedicated to the recent acquisitions. Click on the play arrow to watch Reynolds describe what’s special about Gerald Murphy’s Bibliothèque.

to Picasso ...

... to Edward Ruscha’s “Cut Lip” ...

... to Stuart Davis’s Combination Concrete #2, which greets you as soon as you enter.
p(clear). 
One highlight of the show: the way that new pieces, or the arrangement of the pieces, offers new perspective on old images. For instance, paintings by artists who’re also known for their photography hang besides photographs. You can see the influence of one medium on the other. Reynolds described how Charles Sheeler would put photographs under plexiglass when he was sketching his “California Industrial.” He pointed with pride to the recently acquired watercolor pictured here by Thomas Eakins. The gallery already owned an oil painting (which hangs upstairs); it was a study for the watercolor. Usually, he noted, it works the other way around—the watercolor serves as study for the oil painting.
