Please join us for the exhibition Curators’ Choices: The Greg Kucera & Larry Yocom Collection.
ABOUT THE EXHIBIT | Distinguished as one of the Northwest’s longest-standing and respected gallerists, Seattle resident Greg Kucera with his husband Larry Yocom, have also built an extensive private art collection. Assembled collaboratively over a 30-year span, the Kucera/Yocom collection focuses primarily on contemporary and historic art of the Northwest, while encompassing many significant works by internationally-known artists. Varied and nuanced, their collection contains additional holdings of erotica, including Japanese shunga, as well as objects by self-taught makers and decorative arts from the world-over.
ABOUT THE COLLECTION | Collection-building at such an involved level is ultimately a highly personal curatorial enterprise, following themes of interest “with eyes that remain fresh” on the lookout for unexpected expressions of creativity. Our exhibition honors the selectivity of Greg and Larry, and reflects further shaping by the curatorial team here at Museum of Art. Additionally, the exhibition affords us an opportunity to survey a cultural ecosystem where artist, dealer, collector, curator, and the public-at-large all have key contributions to make.
LOCATION | The Museum of Art is located on Wilson Road across from Martin Stadium in the Fine Arts Center on the WSU Pullman campus. Gallery hours are Monday – Saturday, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m., Thursday open until 7 pm, *Closed Sunday*. For more information please contact the museum at (509) 335-1910.
