Asheville Art Museum Opening Reception Sewell Sillman: Pushing Limits

The Asheville Art Museum, 2 South Pack Square Asheville North Carolina, hosts the Opening Reception for Sewell Sillman: Pushing Limits  on Friday, August 6 from 5:30 - 7:30 PM. The reception is free with Museum Membership or Admission. Sewell Sillman: Pushing Limits celebrates the life and work of groundbreaking artist Sewell Sillman (1924 - 1992). In the late 1940s, Sillman studied with Josef Albers at Black Mountain College and continued to work with Albers until the 1970s. Sillman absorbed Albers's approach to color, design, drawing and education over the decades of their work together, bringing Albers's lessons to bear on his own art and teaching. This exhibition features many of Sillman's graceful abstract drawings and watercolors alongside powerful color studies.
