Tenth Anniversary Exhibition 1964-1974

The Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art celebrates the tenth anniversary of its founding in October 1964 by Mr. and Mrs. Larry Aldrich.

Ten year of exhibitions, widely ranging in their presentation of contemporary approaches to art have established a nationally-recognized institution with a reputation for distinctive selection of works by the most advanced artists.

In the Tenth Anniversary Exhibition, 1964-1974, the museum presents a selection of works from the Aldrich Collection which emphasize the course of change in both the interest of collecting and the focus of exhibition policy over these ten years. The pattern of this change and the direction of the museum in its still-ongoing innovative role among small museums devoted to contemporary art may be discerned in its selections as more and more venturous towards the showing of the accomplished living artists early in his or her career and in response to the most immediate events in the continuing flux of the art world.
