Art
This exhibition features one painting, "Oklahoma" by Cynthia Daignault, as a tribute to the painful history of the Oklahoma City bombing from 1995.
This exhibition, open at OKCMOA, displays experimental artworks that yield illusionistic or even distorting effects that ultimately provide very different, at times almost hallucinogenic, experiences.
Redesigned in collaboration with Chihuly Studio, Chihuly Then and Now: The Collection at Twenty incorporates a unique design featuring five decades of glass and works on paper, and tells a comprehensive story of Chihuly’s groundbreaking career. The exhibition allows visitors to explore works never before seen in OKC, along with OKCMOA visitor favorites including Neodymium Reeds, Ikebana Boat, and a redesigned Oklahoma Persian Ceiling.
In the spring of 2019, we reopened our second-floor galleries with an exciting new presentation of our permanent collection. Headlining this reinstallation is the Museum’s latest acquisition, Kehinde Wiley’s monumental new portrait Jacob de Graeff (2018) from the artist’s Kehinde Wiley: Saint Louis exhibition. Wiley’s extraordinary painting anchors a new portrait gallery that also features works by Anthony van Dyck, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and George Bellows.
