Among the country’s premiere regional American art museums,
the Greenville County Museum of Art draws visitors from around
the world to see installations of work by two of the nation’s greatest artists, Andrew Wyeth and Jasper Johns.
Andrew Wyeth: The Greenville Collection is now the largest
and the most complete collection of Andrew Wyeth's watercolors owned by any public museum in the world. Andrew Wyeth: The Greenville Collection is nearly always on view at the Museum, however it will close temporarily on May 19 and re-open September 28, 2013. In the meantime, see some of your favorite Wyeth paintings in a new light in the exhibition
Wyeth vs., now on view.
Ranging from Federal portraits to contemporary conceptual
works, the Museum’s impressive Southern Collection invites viewers to explore the breadth of American art through the Southern experience from the colonial to the present. Among the highlights of the Southern Collection is the exhibition
David Drake: Potter and Poet of Edgefield District. Enriched by a selection of Civil War-era paintings as well as illustrations by contemporary artist Bryan Collier, this exhibition offers an inspiring look into the work of the legally enslaved and illegally
literate African-American potter David Drake.
