Blaffer Art Museum Free Admission Tuesday

Free Admission Tuesday from 10am to 5pm at Blaffer Art Museum - see INFO below. From the very beginning, exhibitions of works drawn from the Blaffer Collection were augmented by regular presentations of student and faculty work. In late 1974 William Robinson was appointed as the museums first full-time director. Under Robinsons leadership, Blaffer exhibited world-renowned artists such as Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque (1976), Edvard Munch (1976), Willem de Kooning (1977), and Frida Kahlo (1978). In 1976, the separate Sarah Campbell Blaffer Foundation initiated a touring exhibition program. The inaugural exhibition, American Abstract Expressionism, included important works by artists Jackson Pollock, Franz Kline, and Willem de Kooning. The program was one of the first of its kind in the nation to underwrite all major exhibition costs, offering exhibitions to museums and universities throughout Texas free of charge. More Info below.
