Recent Acquisitions

From craft, design, fashion, African art, photography, decorative arts, contemporary, and American art. While these areas are organized into distinct curatorial departments, the works themselves rarely stay within tidy boundaries. Instead, they overlap and blur—crossing time periods, materials, and methodologies to inform one another in unexpected ways.

Each year, the collection continues to grow through the generosity of donors, grants, and gifts, guided by Mint curators who seek out compelling works from around the world. In Recent Acquisitions, on view in the Gorelick Gallery at Mint Museum Uptown, the museum presents works of art acquired over the past 12 months. In total, more than 50 works will be included in the exhibition, including 20 prints by Romare Bearden, a painting by Zoltan Sepeshy, and a mixed media work by John Acorn.
