A Material Legacy: The Nancy A. Nasher and David J. Haemisegger Collection of Contemporary Art

Highlights from a vast contemporary collection amassed over the past decade by Duke Law School graduate Nancy Nasher (J'79) and her husband, David Haemisegger, of Dallas will be on public view for the first time at the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke. "A Material Legacy" explores two distinct legacies -- one of artists' innovative use of materials, the other of philanthropy and collecting. The exhibition features 35 works of art made mostly in the past 10 years by international artists. Large-scale sculptures by Huma Bhabha, Anthony Caro, Tony Cragg, Edmund de Waal, Anish Kapoor, Sol LeWitt and Rachel Whiteread are juxtaposed with paintings and drawings by Damien Hirst, Mark di Suvero, Julian Schnabel, Richard Serra, Kara Walker and Kehinde Wiley, among many others.
