The William J. Glackens Collection and Research Center at NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale houses more than 1,900 objects that tell the story ofWilliamJ.Glackens, a pivotal figure in the development of twentieth-century American art. This extensive collection was entrusted to the Museum as the result of a bequest of Ira Glackens in 1990, which included all works of art located within his home at Shepardstown, West Virginia. The Sansom Foundation was bequeathed all other works and over the years has used that bequest to add to the works so bequeathed to the Museum. Thanks to the Foundation’s support, the Museum’s stewardship is enriched by ongoing research, deepening our understanding of the collection’s vital importance.

AboutThis presentation of graphic works by Asger Jorn (1914–1973) celebrates the artist’s lifelong dedication to printmaking and experiments with paper, comprehensively represented in NSU Art Museum’s collection. Offering a focused view of Jorn’s oeuvre, the exhibition reflects his restless and prolific nature, intuitive skill as a colorist and commitment to shared discovery. The exhibition presents a cross-section of Jorn’s life spanning his entire career from his earliest provocative works at age 19 for the Marxist journal Frem (Forward), up to his final series, Die Geschichte vom teuren Brot (The Story of Expensive Bread), a suite of color lithographs illustrating a story by Halldór Laxness. It also recounts the artist’s early embrace by American institutions, which exhibited and acquired his prints ahead of those in his native Denmark—support that proved critical during his battle with tuberculosis that resulted in the dissolution of the CoBrA (Copenhagen, Brussels, and Amsterdam) group. NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale houses the largest collection in the United States of CoBrA art, an international, transdisciplinary collective art movement dating from 1948-1951.
