Frederic Remington: Treasures from the Frederic Remington Art Museum & Beyond

September 8, 2018 – January 13, 2019

This exhibition illustrated the attraction, the romance and the conflict of the American West through the eyes of the most well-known and respected name in Western art. It was the largest and most important Remington exhibition ever shown in the South. Featuring more than 70 works of art in a wide range of media, the exhibition reminded visitors where their parents and grandparents gained their appreciation for the iconography and mythology of the West, while highlighting Remington’s artistic skill in many areas, well beyond just sculpting, including painting with both oils and watercolors, drawing, print making and writing. In addition, the exhibition explored how his portrayals of the West helped create the iconic image of the old West that is still fondly remembered generations later. While the core of the exhibition included approximately 30 pieces from the Frederic Remington Art Museum (Ogdensburg, NY) this exhibit also brought works from the Buffalo Bill Center of the West (Cody, WY) and a number of private collections, including two in Atlanta.
