Opening on Friday, Oct. 7, the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum presents the work of 16 New England-based artists in the deCordova New England Biennial 2016. The exhibition will occupy two floors of the museum and two locations in the Sculpture Park, and is supplemented by an extensive array of programming, including interactive events and workshops. For more information on the Biennial artists and events, see this deCordova web page.
Also on October 7, the deCordova will unveil “Edward Steichen: Twentieth-Century Photographer.” The exhibition is drawn from deCordova’s permanent collection as well as important loans from private collectors and institutions. The majority of photographs included in the show were made from Steichen’s original negatives and printed after his death in the 1980s by photographer George Tice. The exhibition also features a select number of vintage prints printed by Steichen in the 1910s and 1920s that reveal the lush interpretations he made with experimental printing techniques. The exhibit will be on view until March 28, 2017.
