The Greenville County Museum of Art is home to a nationally acclaimed collection of American art that ranges from Federal portraits to contemporary works, including major holdings of work by two of the greatest artists in the nation’s history, Andrew Wyeth and Jasper Johns. Andrew Wyeth: The Greenville Collection is now the largest and the most complete collection of Andrew Wyeth watercolors owned

by any public museum in the world and includes such highlights as Four Poster and Whale Rib. The GCMA also owns an extensive collection of prints and paintings by America’s most renowned contemporary artist, Jasper Johns, who grew up in South Carolina. Among the highlights of the Southern Collection are an exceptional group of pre-Civil War vessels created by the enslaved African-American potter and poet David Drake, an extensive collection of American Impressionism, and an array of works by such twentieth-century masters as Georgia O’Keeffe, Romare Bearden, and Andy Warhol. In addition, the GCMA is home to an important collection of modernist works by South Carolina native African-American artist William H. Johnson.

We mourn the loss of pioneering artist Betye Saar, who passed away on July 26 at the age of 99, just days before her 100th birthday.

A central figure in the Black Arts Movement, Saar transformed found objects and imagery into powerful works exploring Black identity, history, spirituality, and the complexities of American culture. Her groundbreaking practice continues to influence generations of artists.

Her legacy is especially meaningful to us at the GCMA, where one of Saar’s works is currently on view in "American Stories". We invite you to spend a moment with her work in the galleries and reflect on the remarkable legacy she leaves behind.

Saar told NPR in 2006, "I'm the kind of person who recycles materials, but I also recycle emotions and feelings." She died days away from her 100th birthday.
