“Passion and Commitment” was the title of a remarkable show at FreedmanArt this season: selections from the collection lovingly and perceptively assembled over more than six decades by the eminent Philadelphia-based radiation oncologist Dr. Luther W. Brady, Jr.
We are pleased to share an extended video clip on the art of Luther Brady, from the exhibition "Passion and Commitment: The Art of Luther Brady." We hope you will watch!
A single act of generosity by a collector and supporter of The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City has resulted in the gifting of five more works of art, a handful of loans, and an installation celebrating Color Field painting. Luther W. Brady, M.D., one of the world’s foremost oncologists, gifted the museum with Jules Olitski’s Embraced: Yellow and Black, in the memory of his dear friend Joanne Lyon, a longtime supporter of the Nelson-Atkins. Inspired by that gift, an anonymous donor loaned the Nelson-Atkins Helen Frankenthaler’s Elberta, another quintessential example of Color Field painting. Then Kristina Olitski gave the Nelson-Atkins four Jules Olitski prints to complement one already owned by the museum, thereby creating a complete set. The recent acquisitions, not including the Olitski prints, will be celebrated in the installation Make Room for Color Field, which opened Dec. 11.
FreedmanArt takes great pleasure in presenting "Passion and Commitment: The Art of Luther Brady," opening to the public October 30, 2015. Dr. Luther W. Brady, Jr. is a world renowned oncologist and honored arts patron.
