"Made in America: Ten Centuries of American Art," one of the largest American art exhibitions of this century, will open at the Toledo Museum of Art on Oct. 13 and continue through January 7. Drawn from the collections of five major American museums, the exhibition traces the panora- ma of American spirit and life o,Ter 1,000 years through 160 paintings, photographs, sculp- tures, and decorative works of art including Native American art, silver, glass, and furniture. From 11th-century pottery by Anasazi artists of the Southwest to Thomas Sully's early-19th-cen- tury, full-length portrait of George Washington to Andy Warhol's 1963 pop icon of Elvis Presley, the creativity of Ameri- can artists is highlighted in this historically rich and beautiful ex- hibition. Inclusive and intriguing, "Made in America" moves far be- yond a standard survey of Amer- ican art to encompass a broad and diverse range of objects, cul- tures, and history. Spectacular works by both famous and less- er-known artists have enriched this country's cultural heritage, illustrating the dramatic changes in America during the past one thousand years and revealing how many cultures have woven their creative threads into our na- tional fabric. "Made in America" is pre- sented by a consortium of five major American museums that saw in their own collections the potential for major exhibition of extraordinary quality and broad appeal.
