ON VIEW

Celia Paul   Through August 12, 2018   Featuring six paintings from the contemporary British artist Celia Paul (b. 1959), this is the first in a series of three successive exhibitions authored and curated by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author Hilton Als, staff writer and theater critic for the New Yorker and Associate Professor of Writing at Columbia University. This display, specially selected by Als in collaboration with the artist and a deeply personal testament to their transatlantic friendship, focuses on Paul’s recent works, which explore intimacy and inwardness. Learn more...

Art in Focus: John Goto’s “High Summer”   Through August 19, 2018   This student-curated exhibition examines a portfolio of prints by the photographer John Goto (b. 1949) in which contemporary figures disrupt the landscape gardens of historical British country estates. Drawing on eighteenth-century views of these gardens from the Center’s collection, Goto’s work is contextualized to highlight the ways in which the landscapes have been created, adapted, and represented over time to serve particular and sometimes competing ideologies. Learn more...

Britain in the World   Ongoing   In 2016, the third phase of an important multiyear building conservation project was completed, and visitors can now experience not only a renewed masterpiece of modern architecture by Louis I. Kahn but also a reimagined installation of the Center’s collections. Nearly four hundred works, largely the gift of the institution’s founder, Paul Mellon (Yale College, Class of 1929), and augmented by other gifts and purchases, are on display in the restored and reconfigured galleries on the fourth and second floor. The installation is organized chronologically, focused around a number of themes. Learn more...
