It provided a comprehensive view of the depth and range of their artistic endeavors and was accompanied by an illustrated catalogue. Chief Curator Michael Auping and Curator Cheryl Brutvan organized the show after considering the work of nearly 300 artists working in a variety of media.

About the Western New York Exhibitions

The Western New York exhibitions acknowledge the breadth of talent in the art community of Western New York and reflect the Albright-Knox’s ongoing commitment to support the creative endeavors of these artists. Begun in 1934, the Western New York exhibitions bring together notable works of art in the region and provide a wider field of appreciation for area artists.

Painting, sculpture, prints, and works on paper have traditionally been included, with a category of photography added in 1951 and video and film in 1984. From 1977 to 2010, the Western New York exhibitions alternated with In Western New York and Beyond/In Western New York, invitational exhibitions with selections made by the museum’s curators.

This exhibition was organized by Chief Curator Michael Auping and Curator Cheryl Brutvan.
