The Ashmolean, along with six other museums in the US, Brazil and Germany, is taking part in the Collection-in-Residence programme of the Terra Foundation for American Art.
The Museum was asked to select objects from the Foundation’s holdings to put alongside our own collection as a resource for teaching and research in American art history.
Dr Jim Harris, Teaching Curator at The Ashmolean, will explore this extraordinary loan of 37 works on paper, ranging from the delicate etchings and aquatints of Mary Cassatt through to the social realist art of the Ashcan and 14th Street schools, the government-commissioned work of the New Deal-era Federal Arts Project, and the new abstraction of the post-war period.
