American Beauty – Art from Craft in 19th Century America at The American Museum

Following the success of Dollar Princesses and Titanic, the 2009 exhibition will be American Beauty – Art from Craft in 19th Century America. The exhibition will Showcast the museum’s world-renowned folk art collection, bringing ‘centre stage’ to over one hundred star pieces.

In preparation for American Beauty, many of the paintings and sculptures have been cleaned and consolidated. These treasures have never looked better during their time at the museum – especially the child portraits by William Matthew Prior and his brother-in-law, Sturtevant Hamblen. Now that the discoloured varnish has been removed, these magnificent pictures have been revealed in all their delicate glory.
