A round of applause for the Museum’s conservators and art preparators as they put the final touches on the “Currents 39: LaToya M. Hobbs, Carving Out Time” exhibition! Installing these large-scale, delicate works on paper was made possible by their close collaboration and years of collective experience. Opening September 6 (September 5 for Members), this exhibition celebrates the Museum’s recent acquisition of the prints in the series “Carving Out Time.” It also marks the first occasion when the prints and carved panels will be exhibited together, offering the opportunity to marvel at LaToya M. Hobbs’s artistry in two forms. Plan your visit at mam.org/latoya-hobbs.

OPENS OCT 25 | Mark your calendar for “Robert Longo: The Acceleration of History,” an exhibition of nearly 40 monumental charcoal drawings, sculptures, and videos created by the internationally acclaimed artist. Longo is widely known for his ambitiously scaled charcoal drawings that reflect on the construction of symbols of power and authority, including images of animals and nature as well as global conflicts and protest movements. Though based on images from various media sources, Longo’s meticulous drawings are not exact transcriptions. Instead, he combines elements from multiple images with art historical archetypes and compositional elements in an effort to create what the artist considers “a perfect image.” Learn more about the artist’s first solo exhibition in the region in more than three decades at mam.org/robert-longo. Image: Robert Longo (American, b. 1953), “Untitled (American Eagle 2017),” 2017. Charcoal on mounted paper. 70 1/16 × 96 in. (177.96 × 243.84 cm). Nancy A. Nasher and David J. Haemisegger Collection
