Work of the Week at the Asheville Art Museum

May 24 - 30, Asheville Art Museum, 2 S Pack Square, Asheville North Carolina. Kenn Kotara creates landscape studies from impromptu sketches he makes as he drives or bicycles around the countryside. His stilllifes and landscapes focus more and more on the abstract and geometrical aspects of the landscape.

This painting was given to the Asheville Art Museum by the artist. It is currently located in our second floor galleries as part of the exhibition Looking Back: Celebrating 60 Years of Collecting at the Asheville Art Museum , an installation of works drawn from the permanent collection. It highlights some of the Museum's holdings in Southeastern and Western North Carolina artists, while also celebrating the generosity of collectors and community supporters who have helped to develop the collection over the past 60 years.
