LAS VEGAS, NV (PNAN) – Closing on Friday, January 28, 2023 at the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art is an exhibition that highlights recent acquisitions and celebrates the 10th anniversary of the Museum joining the University of Nevada, College of Fine Arts. “Making Room” charts where the museum has been in the past and where it wants to go in the future.

The exhibit features artwork collected over the past decade, conceptual and minimalist works from the Dorothy and Herbert Vogel Collection: Fifty Works for Fifty States, and a selection of paintings and drawings from Into the Light, the first exhibition that took place after the Barrick transitioned decisively from a natural history institution to a museum of contemporary art.

Previously unseen acquisitions include prints by twentieth-century artists such as, Pablo Picasso and Marc Chagall, as well as more recent work by Ayanah Moor, Yumi Janairo Roth, and James Stanford.
