Through Feb. 18, 2015, the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art showcases its holdings of artwork created by artists from Great Britain collected by the Bechtler family.

This collection reinforces the notion that the Bechtlers collected the art they liked and were not impressed by what was considered mainstream and acceptable. In our opinion, this is what sets the museum apart and enhances the excitement one feels when visiting the exhibits.
This exhibition comprises 56 works of prints, sculptures, drawings and paintings. The 11 artists represented in this exhibit are Bridget Riley, Lynn Chadwick, Barbara Hepworth, David Hockney, Alan Davis, Rodney Gladwell, Bernard Meadows, Victor Passmore and William Scott.

Also on the 4th floor gallery is The Firebird Celebrating Five Years in Charlotte. This special exhibition highlights the influence of the Firebird both before and after its installation in front plaza of the museum in 2009.

The 17-foot Firebird has been a delight for all of Charlotte to view and is covered from head to toe in pieces of mirrored and colored glass.
