Past Highlights & Acquisitions

Past Highlights features work that has been on display in the New Acquisitions and Highlights, an ongoing exhibition of newly acquired work and highlights from International Contemporary Art Foundation's growing collection and contributions from the collection of 21c Museum founders Laura Lee Brown and Steve Wilson. The New Acquisitions exhibition is an opportunity to view many of the emerging artists from the collection along side more established artists. The exhibit includes paintings, sculptures, prints, drawings, photographs, and new media works. The exhibition has included an international group of artists such as Pieter Hugo, Josephine Taylor, Hedi Slimane, Kim Joon, Lynn Bianchi, Michael Wesely, Simen Johan, Michael Eastman, Albert Watson, Carrie Mae Weems, Hedi Slimane and Vik Muniz.
