OKLAHOMA CITY, OK.- The Oklahoma City Museum of Art (OKCMOA) today announced a lineup of artworks on loan from Art Bridges that will be on view at various periods starting this fall and running through fall 2027. This series of loans will include works by Andy Warhol, Richard Diebenkorn, Diego Rivera, and other well-known and influential artists.
The first of these artworks are now on view in the Museum's Portraiture gallery and the permanent collection installation Postwar Abstraction. One of the artists featured is T.C. Cannon, an Oklahoma painter and printmaker. Cannons 1975 painting Grandmother Gestating Father and the Washita River Runs Ribbon-Like is on view next to Laughing Indian, by Cannons mentor Fritz Scholder. In Postwar Abstraction, Richard Diebenkorns Cityscape #3 from 1963 will replace Albuquerque, a work that was part of the Oklahoma Art Centers 1968 purchase of the Washington Gallery of Modern Art Collection.
Were very excited to bring each of these works to the Oklahoma City community, said OKCMOAs President and CEO Michael Anderson, PhD. Starting this series with two works that have a particular connection to the Museum is especially meaningful.
In February, Njideka Akunyili Crosbys mixed-media work I Refuse to Be Invisible from 2010 will be on view in the Storytelling in Art gallery, located on the second floor. The same month, visitors can look forward to the installation The City as Canvas, opening February 7. This gallery will feature the 1949 painting Bronzeville at Night by Archibald John Motley Jr., an artist associated with but not formally part of the Harlem Renaissance movement.
This summer, a new installation will feature Andy Warhols Coca-Cola [3] from 1962, which marked the artists first foray into his signature Pop Art style, and Keith Harings Self Portrait from 1985. Alongside Crosbys I Refuse to Be Invisible, Diego Riveras La ofrenda (The Offering) from 1931 will be on view in the Storytelling in Art gallery beginning fall 2026. Each of the Art Bridges loans will be on loan for one year, with the exception of Harings Self Portrait.
