Last chance to see “Monet: Framing Life” at Detroit Institute of Arts. Popular exhibition of early Monet works ends March 4
Updated Feb 16, 2018
February 15, 2018 (Detroit)—Time is running out to see “Monet: Framing Life” at the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA). March 4 is the last day of this intimate exhibition that focuses on an important painting in the DIA collection, Claude Monet’s “Rounded Flower Bed (Corbeille de fleurs)” from 1876, formerly known as “Gladioli” and recently retitled based on new research. Monet created this work while living in the Paris suburb of Argenteuil between late 1871 and early 1878, where he met and worked beside fellow avant-garde painters that formed the group now known as the Impressionists.
This exhibition brings the DIA’s painting together with 10 other Argenteuil paintings by Monet and fellow impressionist Pierre-Auguste Renoir—including seven major loans from the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. In doing so, the exhibition presents a more comprehensive story about the creation of “Rounded Flower Bed (Corbeille de fleurs)” and how it fits into Monet’s body of work, as well as the history of Impressionism more broadly.
Tickets are $16 for adults, $7 for ages 6–17. For Wayne, Oakland and Macomb county residents, $10 for adults, $5 for ages 6–17. Free for DIA members. For tickets, call 313-833-4005 or visit www.dia.org/Monet.
This exhibition has been organized by the Detroit Institute of Arts and made possible by the Bonnie Ann Larson Modern European Master Series.
Generous corporate support has been provided by Park West Foundation, JPMorgan Chase, Altair, English Gardens, and Grand Hotel—Mackinac Island.
Major support has been provided by Lois and Avern Cohn. Additional funding is contributed by Dr. Mark and Amy Haimann, Dr. Theodore and Diana Golden, anonymous donors, Eleanore and Dick Gabrys, and Andrew L. and Gayle Shaw Camden.
This exhibition is supported by an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities.
