The Norton Museum in West Palm Beach, Florida, announced that some 80 artworks will be added to the museum’s collection via a combination of acquisitions and promised gifts. The new works cover a wide range of mediums and time periods, in step with the museum’s focus on European, American, and Chinese art.
Highlights include one of Fred Eversley’s parabolic lens sculptures; a 1981 painting by Jean-Michel Basquiat; Mary Cassatt’s drawing Mother Jeanne Nursing Her Baby; a trio of works (a film, a painting, and a sculpture) by Rashid Johnson; and three new blue-and-white porcelain objects from the Qing dynasty.
The Norton Museum of Art—the largest institution in Florida—reopened in 2019 after an extensive renovation by Pritzker Prize–winning architect Norman Foster’s firm Foster + Partners. The new building added 12,000 square feet of gallery space, along with a sculpture garden. [. . .]
