Line by Line

Goodwin Gallery July 6, 2024-March 9, 2025
Clarke Gallery Oct. 5, 2024-March 9, 2025​​

Line by Line surveys a century of innovative, energetic, and intriguing approaches to one of art’s most ancient and foundational elements: line. The exhibition, opening in two sections, explores the language of line in work by more than seventy artists working from the 1920s to now.

Spanning a range of mediums – including painting, weaving, prints, photography, and sculpture – the art is organized into evocative categories, such as “A Line Alone,” “Land Lines,” and “Unaligned.” Visitors can immerse themselves in the extraordinary variety of linework, from pieces featuring a single line to those with grids, scrawls, stripes, and swirls.

The first section of the exhibition opens on July 6, 2024, with the second section opening on October 5, both on view through March 9, 2025.
