With this work, Baltimore-based artist Soledad Salame warns us that the conditions of catastrophe are replicating quickly on a global scale—and time is running short to take action.

Salamé visited the Venice and Grand Isle areas of Louisiana after the 2010 Deepwater Horizon spill to experience firsthand the effects of the largest-known crude oil extraction breach. To create these prints, she faxed photographs of the region to herself and then screenprinted the digitally processed files.

📍 Take a closer look in the Contemporary Wing.

Would you take a chance on this painting by ? 🤔

Collector Etta Cone bought this still life, her first oil painting by Henri Matisse and the only example from his Fauve period, in 1906. With its broad expanses of vibrant color and areas of bare canvas, it was an extremely daring choice for Etta, who by that time had collected only a few paintings—a group of Japanese prints and some works on paper.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Puerto Rican artist , who transitioned from jazz drumming to a visual arts career that spanned mediums.

“Musical improvisation remained a defining influence throughout his practice, which was unusual in its diversity of styles, mediums, and materials. His work ranged from conceptual installations to assemblage sculptures and paintings. He used paper bags and blackboards as canvases, as well as calabash gourds and garbage can lids in hanging, Dada-inspired sculptures, while installations could be made of straw, dried leaves, or ice.” —ARTnews

We’ll continue to honor Ferrer’s legacy and appreciate his works in our collection at the BMA. 💜

Are those fish alright?! 🐟 There’s a weird story behind this painting by Henri Matisse ...

Collector Etta Cone initially hesitated to acquire this monumental seascape because she was concerned about the health of the creatures on the beach. When she inquired, she was reassured that had watered the fish to keep them alive during their modeling session.

📍 Take a longer look in the Cone Wing.
