On view at the Mint Museum Uptown is the first showing of a touring exhibition, “American
Made: Paintings and Sculpture from the DeMell Jacobsen Collection.” Organized by the
Mint and Memphis’s Dixon Gallery and Gardens (where it will appear January 29–April 16, 2023), the works come from the Thomas H. and Diane DeMell Jacobsen Ph.D. Foundation, an outstanding private collection of American art.
The project surveys two centuries of paintings and sculpture, encompassing such bold-faced names as West, Sully, the Peale family, Cole, Kensett, Durand, Richards, Robinson, Hassam, Metcalf, Chase, Cassatt, Sargent, and Tarbell.
Included are still lifes by Roesen, Harnett, Porter, Peto, and Bailey; sculptures by Powers, Manship, and Saint-Gaudens; and modern works by Hartley, Marin, Cadmus, Nevelson, and Rockman.
“American Made” is accompanied by a 400-page catalogue published in association with D. Giles Limited (London); its principal author is Elizabeth B. Heuer (University of North Florida). After Memphis, the show will move to the Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens (Jacksonville), San Antonio Museum of Art, and Alabama’s Huntsville Museum of Art.
