The visitors of the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum have the opportunity to learn about the work of these two father and son artists, their lives and creative abilities through more than 60 works loaned from public institutions and private collections, some of them never previously exhibited in public. Curated by Timothy Standring, curator of painting and sculpture at the Gates Foundation of the Denver Art Museum, the exhibition also reveal how the respective work of these two artists has on occasions assumed parallel directions, with each enriching the other or generating mutual challenges.
The large number of loans generously offered from the private collection of Andrew and Betsy Wyeth and that of Jamie Wyeth has allowed the curator to devise a comprehensive exhibition that includes major works by Andrew Wyeth (born 1917 and death 2009) and Jamie Wyeth (born 1946), from all the periods within their careers. The exhibition has come from Denver, where it has been displayed between November 8, 2015, and February 7, 2016.
