Crocker Art Museum

The longest continuously operating art museum in the West, the Crocker Art Museum was founded in 1885 and remains the leading art institution for the California Capital Region and Central Valley. The Museum, which is housed in one of the finest examples of Victorian Italianate architecture in the United States, offers a diverse spectrum of special exhibitions, events, and programs to augment its collections of California, European, and Asian artworks, and International Ceramics.

In October 2010, the museum debuted a 100,000 square foot expansion that was constructed to ensure the Museum remains an ever-more-vital cultural center and resource for the community, as well as for art-lovers from near and far. The expansion enables the Museum to dramatically increase and improve its offerings, providing all members of the public with a more diverse range of public programs and exhibitions and an enhanced opportunity for meaningful encounters with great works of art.

01/03/12- 02/07/12	Italic Calligraphy Crocker Art Museum Italic Calligraphy Presented by Crocker Art Museum at Crocker Art Museum January 3-February 7, 2012 This fine hand originated in the 15-17th century and is perhaps even more beautiful today. Italic calligraphy communicates elegance and simplicity and can be flourished or adapted to personal handwriting. Its enduring appeal will be explored in a six week class at the Crocker Art Museum. Students will use a convenient chisel fountain pen to learn the Italic shape, slant, size, and spacing. Demonstrations include tips on using a dip pen, flourishing, variations, recommended papers and...

In Italian art especially, drawing formed the basis for every form of visual expression in the 16th through 18th centuries, from printmaking to painting to sculpture. This exhibition, drawn from the collections of the Georgia Museum of Art and Giuliano Ceseri, explores the variety and beauty of Italian draughtsmanship through drawings and prints by artists such as Stefano...

This exhibition, drawn from the largest collection of Florentine Baroque painting in the United States, features works by key artists such as Jacopo da Empoli and Francesco Furini. The colorful exuberance of Giovanni Domenico Ferretti's Harlequin...

02/11/12- 05/06/12	Edgar Payne: The Scenic Journey Crocker Art Museum Edgar Payne: The Scenic Journey Presented by Crocker Art Museum at Crocker Art Museum February 11-May 6, 2012 One of the most gifted of California's early plein-air artists, Edgar Payne utilized the brushwork and colors of Impressionism, yet his powerful landscape paintings departed from the genteel refinement of most Impressionist painters. Payne's works are imbued with an internal force and active dynamism achieved through majestic, vital landscape subjects. This exhibition of more than 80 signature paintings and drawings, as well as additional objects from the artist's studio, traces...
03/03/12- 05/13/12	Fishing Lines: Etching and Engraving from the Gary Widman Collection Crocker Art Museum Fishing Lines: Etching and Engraving from the Gary Widman Collection Presented by Crocker Art Museum at Crocker Art Museum March 3-May 13, 2012 From anglers on Rembrandt's riverbanks to William Wegman's scaly creatures, fish and fishing have inspired artists for centuries. This exhibition of works from a private collection explores the subject in 60 etchings and engravings from the 16th century to the present. Angling lore, scientific study, and sometimes acid humor are brought together by a variety of printmakers. Through these images, the exhibition provides a fascinating history of etching and engraving.
03/03/12- 05/13/12	Surveying Judy Chicago: 1970-2010 Crocker Art Museum Surveying Judy Chicago: 1970-2010 Presented by Crocker Art Museum at Crocker Art Museum March 3-May 13, 2012 A seminal figure in contemporary American art, artist and feminist Judy Chicago produces thought-provoking, passionate, and at times controversial work. Unrestrained by medium, her work traverses china and acrylic painting to cast glass, printmaking, and textiles. Her most famous project, The Dinner Party, 1974-79, catapulted her onto the international stage. Its initial display in San Francisco in 1979 drew enormous crowds and brought the power of women's voices to the forefront of...

In Site 2801, viewers are asked to confront an incongruous and satirical juxtaposition of humanity's past and present. Two hundred terracotta warriors based on models of those commissioned by China's first emperor, Qin Shi Huang, are displayed rank by rank, having been "unearthed" in a site that not only includes historical warriors, but...
03/17/12- 09/23/12	Red Hot and Blown: Contemporary Glass from the Crocker's Collection Crocker Art Museum Red Hot and Blown: Contemporary Glass from the Crocker's Collection Presented by Crocker Art Museum at Crocker Art Museum March 17-September 23, 2012 In 2012, more than 150 museums throughout the United States will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of America's studio-glass movement, which began in 1962 in Toledo, Ohio. Since that time, glass has emerged as a rich and diverse form of creative expression with vessels, sculptures, and everything in between being blown, cast, assembled, and even painted. The Crocker's exhibition includes all of these techniques, ranging from Marvin Lipofsky's blown sculptures from the 1960s to Dale...

This is the first survey of his work in his hometown and follows his recent solo exhibition at the Albertina in Vienna, Austria. This exhibition showcases each of the artist's creative phases, including his Abstract Expressionist early works, his comic-book heroes from the 1960s, and the commercially inspired nudes that made him famous. The latter,...

    The first week in April, there was an outstanding conference on Caring Science, the work of Jean Watson. Health Care professionals participated in Art Therapy, among other things. Art is so essential for the personal growth of young people and to the healing process of some patients. Art is under funded in schools today. This event is a great opportunity and I hope many enroll. 5 Stars. Collapse

    Remember a few years ago when in a homeschooling groups whom met in the Sacramento Convention Center decided to put a fig leaf on the nude statue of Poseidon, and shockingly the city allowed them to do so with the publically owned statue. One had to wonder what were they teaching their children if they couldn't deal with naked Greek statues(?). Those in charge of the Crocker art museum should likewise understand not to cave into demands to censor art anymore than our public libraries. Collapse

    The new Crocker Art Museum still doesn't come close in comparison to many others nationally, such as the DeYoung Museum in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. Aside from classic forms of art, gallery also contained "contemporary" pieces that looked like grade school projects. In the middle of the day, the concrete in the performance courtyard area apparently drew a lot of complaints from both audience and performers of being too hot and having no shading. The staff, though as hard as they tried, were just too short of white umbrella tents to shield the audiences. The cafe's "special" for the grand opening day was just a soup they seriously wrote on the menu board as something as "killed squash"(a personal statement on behalf of the chef?). Sold also were overpriced fast food items as hot dogs, hamburgers and fries; certainly not the "cuisine" they claimed they'd have. Money should have gone instead to "improving" other things in our city. Collapse

    Most disappointing thing I've ever been to. Almost no cosplay, and no anime art, a movie was playing and there was maybe 5 people watching it and no one was there.
