Among Friends: Three Views of a Collection
Drawn from the collection of Amanda and Glenn Fuhrman, founders of The FLAG Art Foundation, and curated by Cynthia Daignault, Awol Erizku, and Ewan Gibbs, the exhibition includes singular presentations of artworks that reflect each artist’s primary discipline and personal sensibilities: Daignault’s selection stems from painting; Erizku focuses on photography and sculpture; and Gibbs select drawings. Among Friends: Three Views of a Collection is on view June 23-August 12, 2022, and spans the FLAG’s 9th and 10th floors.
“Some of the most dynamic exhibitions in recent memory have been curated by artists, invited by museums and institutions to organize shows from their permanent collections. To see artists remix imagery or make unexpected pairings can transform a work you’ve seen hundreds of times into something completely new,” states Glenn Fuhrman. “Cindy, Awol, and Ewan have each been involved in multiple exhibitions at FLAG over the years and have all become close friends of mine and Amanda’s. I deeply respect their practices and discerning eyes and am excited to have them recontextualize works that I have loved and lived with for the past three decades.”
While the Fuhrmans’ collection of contemporary art is actively made available to curators and institutions worldwide through The Fuhrman Family Foundation, this is only the second time in FLAG’s history (A Secret Affair: Selections from the Fuhrman Family Collection, 2017) that a show has been drawn exclusively from it.
