Andrew Wyeth</a>: 1982 encapsulates the life and work of the renowned artist during a pivotal year in his artistic career. In this year in which the artist turned sixty-five and entered what might be considered his late period, he embraced new subjects and turned away from prior inspirations, confronted the imminent loss of lifelong friend and model Walt Anderson in a major tempera, Adrift, and dealt with the ups and downs of popular success, including a significant theft of his artworks.</p><p>The exhibition showcases rarely-seen works and reveals new insights into his enduring creativity during a volatile period. Andrew Wyeth: 1982 invites viewers to reflect on the cultural and personal contexts that shaped the artist’s practice during this specific year through art and archival materials. The exhibition is curated by the staff of the Andrew &amp; Betsy Wyeth Study Center, and its contents are drawn primarily from the collection of the Wyeth Foundation for American Art, which makes this exhibition possible.</p><p><br></p>" />
