100 Must-Visit Galleries Around the World | Walker Art Center (2)🎨🌟
This artwork is located on the exterior wall of the Walker Art Center, and it is not only a piece in the Walker's collection but also an interpretation of the museum form itself. 🎢🍃 Just as the phrase suggests, artworks are fragmented, coming from different artists and different periods, but when they are put together, they form a museum. At the same time, these artworks can also showcase the development history of the museum from another perspective. 👨🎨 The WALKER ART CENTER initially started as just a room of T. B. Walker (Thomas Barlow Walker) 125 years ago. He hung his favorite paintings on the walls of this room and welcomed everyone to come in and visit. 🎢🍃 As the number of collections increased, he expanded the exhibition space. In 1927, he established his own museum—the Walker Art Gallery. Over the years, more and more people have been involved in perfecting this art institution. The years 1939-1940 marked the birth of the Walker Art Center as we know it today. 🎢🍃 The institution's mission is to support the creation of new art and to preserve historically significant cultural artworks, and the collection it has shaped has far exceeded the initial taste and vision of its founder. 🪀 Current exhibition on P4-5: Paul Chan: Breathers #fibre #art #artmuseum 🌟
