exhibition · 2026-04-22

Jimmy Wright's artwork appears in the Metropolitan Museum of Art exhibition 'The Lens and the Mirror: Self-Portraits from the Collection, 1957-2007', curated by Marla Prather, which runs through November 15. Simultaneously, a solo exhibition titled 'Jimmy Wright, Twenty Years of Paintings and Pastels' opens at the Springfield Art Museum in Springfield, Missouri, on September 18th. These dual presentations highlight Wright's contributions across different institutional contexts. The Metropolitan Museum exhibition focuses on self-portraiture from a specific fifty-year period, while the Springfield show surveys two decades of the artist's work in painting and pastel media. Both exhibitions were announced in August 2009 through artcritical's PIC feature.
