Now through January 4, head to the Ackland Art Museum for a powerhouse new exhibition, “Color Triumphant: Modern Art from the Collection of Julian and Josie Robertson.” The exhibition features 33 modern artists, including Claude Monet and Camille Pissarro – with a focus on especially colorful works, a centerpiece of the Robertsons’ collection.
Aaron welcomes two guests to discuss the exhibit: Peter Nisbet, the Ackland’s deputy director for curatorial affairs, and graduate student Weixin Zhou, who co-wrote the “Color Triumphant” exhibition texts with Nisbet.
Conversation presented by the Ackland Art Museum. Visit Ackland.org for more information on “Color Triumphant.”
