Galleries dedicated to the artwork of abstract artist Clyfford Still and figurative sculptor Marisol Escobar will be part of the renamed Buffalo AKG Art Museum after it reopens in fall 2022.
Also, two major exhibitions â one on artist Stanley Whitney in fall 2023 and a traveling exhibition, âMarisol: A Retrospective,â in spring 2024 â were announced to museum members Wednesday.
The programming and gallery announcements came as the initial layers of concrete have been poured that will form the foundation of the new, three-story glass building, to be named for philanthropist Jeffrey Gundlach, on the northern end of the campus.
Construction of the steel frame is expected to begin in April 2021 and be completed in June.
