    At the intersection of abstraction, allusion, and depiction, the artist and viewer share equally in the creation of a work’s meaning. Storyville presents works from the museum’s collection that vacillate between recognizable subject matter and abstraction, providing various readings of each narrative.

    This exhibition includes works by Carlos Alfonzo, Jonathan Borofsky, Derek Boshier, JoAnne Carson, Dexter Dalwood, Jedd Garet, Philip Guston, Clay Ketter, Robert Moskowitz, Elizabeth Murray, Lari Pittman, Lisa Sanditz, Peter Saul, Raymond Saunders, Fritz Scholder, T. L. Solien, Leslie Wayne, and Robert Yarber.
