Hirshhorn Museum REVOLUTIONS: ART FROM THE HIRSHHORN COLLECTION, 1860–1960

I had the pleasure of visiting the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, D.C., and it was nothing short of inspiring. From the moment I stepped into the museum, I was captivated by the sheer variety and energy of the collection. The Hirshhorn is renowned for its focus on modern and contemporary art.


The collection features works by some of my favorites, Joan Mitchell, Edward Hopper, Helen Frankenthaler, Egon Schiele, Richard Diebenkorn and many more. The conceptual pieces challenged me to see the world in new ways, while the vibrant paintings filled me with creative energy.


The museum’s architecture also added to the experience. The circular layout encourages you to keep moving, discovering new perspectives with each step. It felt like a journey through the evolving world of art,


Visiting the Hirshhorn was a reminder of art’s incredible power to inspire, provoke, and uplift. I left the museum with a head full of ideas, eager to get back to my own creative projects.



The Hirshorn collection is an exhibition of

208 artworks in the Museum’s permanent collection by 117 artists—including Francis Bacon, Jean Dubuffet, Lee Krasner, Wifredo Lam, Jacob Lawrence, Georgia O’Keeffe, and Jackson Pollock—made during 100 turbulent and energetic years.

The exhibition includes contemporary work by 19 artists, such as Torkwase Dyson, Rashid Johnson, Annette Lemieux, Dyani White Hawk, and Flora Yukhnovich, whose practices demonstrate how many revolutionary ideas and approaches arising during these 100 years remain critical today. Organized by Hirshhorn Associate Curator Marina Isgro and Assistant Curator Betsy Johnson, Revolutions will fill the Museum’s second-floor outer-circle galleries from March 22, 2024, to April 20, 2025.
