Public Tours at the Walker Art Center in March Highlight New Exhibition Richard Prince: Spiritual America
March tours at the Walker Art Center offer a chance to see the latest exhibition Richard Prince: Spiritual America (opening March 22), a critical overview of the celebrated American artist’s work, organized by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. This comprehensive examination highlights Prince’s contributions to the development of contemporary art, bringing together key examples of his photographs, paintings, sculptures, and works on paper in an installation that integrates the various series comprising his oeuvre. Tours are also offered for Worlds Away: New Suburban Landscapes, featuring the work of 34 artists and architects who explore a variety of suburban conditions that challenge preconceived ideas and expectations about the contemporary American suburb; Present Tense: Photographs by JoAnn Verburg, featuring some 60 works surveying the artist’s 30-year career; and of the Walker building and ongoing collection exhibitions. Also offered in March are Spotlight Gallery Talks led by Walker curators and tour guides highlighting selected artworks or artists in the galleries.
Gallery admission is $10 adults; $8 seniors (65+), $6 student/teen (with ID) and free to Walker members and children 12 and under. Admission is free with a ticket to a same-day Walker event, $4 with a ticket stub up to six days after an event. Gallery admission is free to all every Thursday evening from 5–9 pm and on the first Saturday of each month.
