Gwathmey Siegel: Inspiration and Transformation

Inspiration and Transformation is the first museum exhibition devoted to the work of American architectural firm Gwathmey Siegel and Associates Architects (NYC). The firm designed the Cameron Art Museum, as well as many other notable museums, residences and corporate offices. This exhibition addresses eight Gwathmey Siegel projects, focusing primarily on five that represent major transitions in their forty-five year practice. The exhibition demonstrates the broader cultural currents in American modernist art and architecture, as well as the more specific inspiration of art associated with each of these commissions.

This exhibition is curated by Adjunct Curator of Architecture and Design, Doug Sprunt.
