Embellish Me: Works from the Collection of Norma Canelas Roth and William Roth
During the 1970s, artists in Los Angeles and New York boldly challenged conventional creative norms by pushing the boundaries of form, color, and meaning in their art. This show celebrates this generation of trailblazing artists who championed color, pattern, and craft techniques traditionally associated with women artists.

Flourishing: Paintings by Wendy Edwards
The Currier presents eight large-scale paintings by New England artist Wendy Edwards (b. 1950) in the museum’s new Concourse Gallery. Let yourself be taken in by the grandeur of these sweeping canvasses, depicting abstract flora and human forms rendered with rich and surprising colors. With a commitment to expressivity and the luscious material qualities of oil paint, these works assert Edwards’ place within a lineage shaped by Edouard Manet, Vincent van Gogh, and Georgia O’Keeffe.

Spray:
Jules Olitski in the 1960s
In the 1960s, American artist Jules Olitski (1922-2007) exhibited his large-scale abstract Spray paintings and sculptures to critical acclaim. Olitski's sumptuously colored canvases, coupled with his bold and experimental painting methods, fueled the artist's public reception. His innovative technique involved the use of industrial spray guns to apply mists of acrylic paint to canvas, creating the effect of ethereal fields of suspended color. Sixty years since their inception and inspired by Olitski's masterpiece Shoot (1965) from the Currier Museum of Art’s collection, Spray: Jules Olitski in the 1960s features a selection of paintings, a sculpture, and works on paper, as well as rarely exhibited archival materials from the Jules Olitski Foundation.
