Featuring approximately 80 seldom-seen paintings, sculptures, prints, photographs, drawings, and films, this exhibition juxtaposes the work from artists of the Americas, providing a fresh and innovative look at this dynamic and cosmopolitan period of modernism. Constructive Spirit features several works by artists represented in the Carter’s collection, such as Alexander Calder, Stuart Davis, and Louise Nevelson. Other artists in the exhibition include Joaquín Torres-García, Jesús Rafael Soto, and Arshile Gorky. While their approaches were diverse, together their work demonstrates abstraction’s capacity for both systematic and intuitive approaches as well as a broad range of goals from the spiritual to the political. The exhibition is a first-time chance for Carter patrons to understand the conceptual and aesthetic parallels that linked artists across the Americas.
