In 2022, our collection grew with 200 acquisitions including a rare example of nineteenth-century Lenape (Delaware) beadwork as well as works created by American artists to better reflect the diversity of the United States and to create space for underrepresented American voices such as Black, Asian American, Native American, and women artists. These new additions will ultimately be presented in our reinstalled American Art wing to be fully unveiled in late 2024. ⁠ ⁠ We look forward to sharing this new set of historical and contemporary works representing multiple generations of emerging and established artists and a wide range of disciplines.⁠ ⁠ 📷 Delaware.
