  • JubilationRumination Life, Real And Imagined
    February 21, 2012

    In celebration of half-a-century since its inception, the American Folk Art Museum in New York City really has something to crow about. Having survived a turbulent few years, the museum has most recently mounted the exhibition ⁊ubilation/Rumination: Life, Real and Imagined,†a panoramic look at its own spectacular collection. The nearly 100 objects on view through September 19 are among the best objects that have been added to the museum⁳ collection over the last decade or so. They were selected by senior curator Stacy C. Hollander, who has been guiding the American Folk Art Museum⁳ collection for more than a quarter of a century. ⁊ubilation/Rumination†is meant to herald the collection, to mark the museum⁳ return to its earlier site at Lincoln Square and to celebrate this unique museum⁳ continued survival and growth. ⁉t is an exciting time for us,†declares Hollander. In examining the most recent additions to the museum collections, American and international, ⁊ubilation/Rumination†pushes the definition of folk art beyond its previous borders.
