Featuring over 70 significant works from the American Folk Art Museum’s collection, American Perspectives showcases a selection of folk and self-taught art from the 18th century to the present day.
A wide range of forms—from quilts, embroidery, and assemblages to pottery, paintings, and sculpture—reveals aspects of U.S. nationhood and history and celebrates the insights that art can bring to them. Through the interweaving of historical and contemporary works that speak to the beauty, complexity, and contradictions of this country, American Perspectives explores powerful visual stories that reflect the unfolding narrative of the United States.
