Yellowstone Art Museum

On view in the Murdock Gallery until April 2010

Private collector William I. Koch shares 11 choice selections from his private collection with Montana audiences. Raoul Dufy (1877-1953) was one of the French Fauves ("Wild Beasts"), painters whose exuberant works introduced a new freedom in form and color.

For more than thirty years Montana artist Deborah Butterfield has interpreted her equine muse in a plethora of materials, scales, postures, and moods. This exhibition highlights three sculptures by Butterfield from the YAM's permanent collection, and invites the viewer to experience three different constructivist approaches to her subject. Brown Horse Thought, the largest work in the exhibition, is an unusual, full-scale double portrait that is a recent gift from the artist.
