June 10, 2012–February 24, 2013
The Tower Gallery is host to a series of exhibitions focusing on developments in art from midcentury to the present.
Drawing mainly from the Gallery's rich holdings of Newman's (1905–1970) work, this exhibition presents two crucial periods in the artist's career. Newman's paintings and drawings of the 1940s reveal a shift from biomorphic imagery to simple linear forms, while The Stations of the Cross, a cycle of 14 paintings plus a coda (Be II), dominated Newman's mature career from 1958 to 1966.
Organization: Organized by the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
Sponsor: The exhibition is made possible by The Exhibition Circle and The Tower Project of the National Gallery of Art.
Schedule: National Gallery of Art, June 10, 2012–February 24, 2013

The exhibition is on view in the National Gallery's East Building, Tower Gallery.
