An active approach to collecting is at the heart of any museum whose mission
and vision is to acquire and exhibit contemporary art. Since its original
inception as the Buffalo Fine Arts Academy in 1862, the Albright-Knox Art
Gallery has consistently been dedicated to collecting the “art of our time,” and
the Permanent Collection has continued to grow in significant ways. Remix Recent
Acquisitions presents an overview of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery’s collecting
habits over the course of the past five years.
Comprised of thirty works from internationally renowned contemporary artists,
such as Rineke Dijkstra, Cardiff and Miller, Teresita Fernandez, Mona Hatoum,
Ernesto Neto, Alan Rath, Laurie Simmons, Evan Penny, Andrea Zittel.
This exhibition spans a variety of media from photography to installation, and
several works that are on view for the first time. We welcome the opportunity to
help you get acquainted with these new additions, which will ensure the
prominence and significance of the Albright-Knox in the future and become
favorites for years to come.
