Miranda Lichtenstein in "Currents: Rrecent Acquisitions" at the Hirshhorn
11 Oct 2007
October 18, 2007 – March 16, 2008
On view in the Hirshhorn's lower-level galleries this fall are a number of important recent acquisitions, including a selection of works acquired through the Contemporary Acquisitions Council (CAC), a membership group that brings works by emerging artists into the museum's collection. During its inaugural year, the group helped the museum acquire 22 new works in a range of media by artists from DC, London, Dublin, New York City, Toronto, Mexico City and elsewhere. Also on view will be other recent additions to the collection such as Lee Friedlander's "The Hirshhorn Museum Sculpture Garden" (1978), a suite of 52 gelatin silver prints taken of the building and garden soon after the museum opened. The selection of acquisitions for this exhibition reflects the great diversity of works being acquired by the Hirshhorn, ranging from conceptual photography to sculpture. This exhibition is organized by Curator Anne Ellegood.

Miranda Lichtenstein: The Searchers
The Searchers weaves together the artist’s photographs with found images, delving into subcultures of spiritualism, escapism and consciousness-raising. Taking the viewpoint of an observer, The Searchers creates a web of deep belief that is dark and inspiring, chaotic and restful all at once.2005, English
