How long can we tolerate this? An incomplete record from 1933–1999 (2016) is an assemblage by Leah Modigliani comprising facsimile press photographs of evictions. As the artist notes, the installation reads as both skyline and timeline, functioning as “a historical archive and a representation of working and middle-class material displacement.”

This exhibition will explore Marsden Hartley’s complex, sometimes contradictory, and visually arresting relationship with his native state—from the lush Post-Impressionist inland landscapes with which he launched his career, to the later roughly rendered paintings of Maine’s rugged coastal terrain, its hardy inhabitants, and the magisterial Mount Katahdin. Marsden Hartley’s Maine is organized by the Colby College Museum of Art and The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

In 1978, facing eviction from his long-time studio in lower Manhattan, Robert Indiana (born 1928) relocated to the island of Vinalhaven, located in Maine’s Penobscot Bay. Robert Indiana: Placeholder features select prints from this moment that navigate the intersections of history, autobiography, and personal memory, including work inspired by Marsden Hartley’s German Officer paintings. It is organized as a complement to Marsden Hartley’s Maine.

A summer resident of Maine since the mid-1950s, Alex Katz (born 1927) considers Marsden Hartley a “visionary painter” who has exerted a strong influence on his own career. This exhibition, curated by Katz, brings together an array of works by international artists to further illuminate Hartley’s legacy in postwar and contemporary art.

In the summer of 2015, Anna Jermolaewa traveled throughout Ukraine documenting empty or repurposed pedestals that had once displayed statues of Vladimir Lenin. Leninopad, or “Leninfall”—a term coined to describe the systematic toppling of monuments to the revolutionary leader—was the most visible manifestation of the state-instituted process of “decommunization” introduced in Ukraine by government decree in May of 2015. Anna Jermolaewa: Leninopad focuses on the video component of Jermolaewa’s Leninopad project. Anna Jermolaewa: Leninopad is presented in conjunction with the 2016–17 theme of “Revolutions” organized by the Center for the Arts and Humanities.

Of the more than 170 lithographs that American artist George Bellows (1882–1925) produced between 1916 and 1924, twenty belong to his “War Series.” Graphic Matters reflects on the centennial of American entry into World War I by reexamining Bellows’s prints for the timely questions they raise about representation, aestheticized and institutionalized violence, nationalism, and masculinity.

No Limits: Zao Wou-Ki is the first American retrospective of this pioneering Chinese-French artist. Zao Wou-Ki (1920-2013) immigrated to Paris in 1948 and soon took the international art world by storm. Renowned for the fluidity with which he moved between European modernism and Chinese aesthetics, Zao’s work is distinguished by his unique approach to abstraction. No Limits: Zao Wou-Ki is co-organized by the Colby College Museum of Art and Asia Society Museum, New York.

The Vollard Suite (1930–37) is the most significant prints series made by Pablo Picasso (1881–1973). Containing one hundred etchings, a selection of which are on view, it was commissioned by the art dealer Ambroise Vollard in Paris. Inspired by his work in sculpture, Picasso made the relationship between artist and model in the sculptor’s studio the suite’s central theme.
