The Davis Museum reopens its fifth-floor galleries on February 6 with modern and contemporary works by Willem de Kooning, Lee Krasner, Horace Pippin, and Judith Rothschild, plus never-before-seen pieces like Irving Norman's Labyrinth (1955). Curated by James Oles from over 900 works, the installation is organized thematically around six themes—Modern Fragments, The Label, An Eye for Materials, Plane and Grid, Dream and Gesture, and Contemporary Art—reflecting Wellesley's interdisciplinary approach. Student employees contributed object labels, and the Contemporary Art section features recent acquisitions representing global and diasporic voices.
