Exhibition Date: December 14, 2024 – May 4, 2025 – Special Exhibition Gallery
Member Opening: January 11, 2025, 4:30 – 7:00 PM
The exhibition marks the 110th anniversary of Houser’s birth and the 100th of Jackson’s. Curated by Booth Museum Executive Director Seth Hopkins, the exhibition delves into the captivating histories and artistic parallels of Houser and Jackson. In researching the exhibition, Hopkins came to believe Houser and Jackson are the two most important Western sculptors since Frederic Remington. Despite very different backgrounds, artistic training and philosophies these two titans of art traveled parallel paths to the top of the Western art scene and beyond. Carefully selected works, ranging from well-known to rarely seen, will illustrate how both men broke barriers, influenced many younger artists and brought new collectors to Western and Indigenous art.
