Behind the Scenes: The Eye of the Earth

Join us online for a lively presentation with Dr. Will L. Coleman, Wyeth Foundation Curator and Director of the Andrew and Betsy Wyeth Study Center, discussing the development of the exhibition Andrew Wyeth at Kuerner Farm: The Eye of the Earth.

Over more than six decades, Kuerner Farm in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania inspired Andrew Wyeth to create nearly 1,000 artworks in a wide variety of genres and media, including some of his most recognizable creations.

To mark the 25th anniversary of the transition of Kuerner Farm from a family home into a public site visited and sketched by thousands annually, the Brandywine Museum of Art and Reynolda House Museum of American Art have joined forces to co-organize the show. This exhibition brings together some of the artist’s iconic Kuerner works like the temperas Karl and Snow Hill with masterpieces of the watercolor medium like Wolf Moon and First Snow, and some exciting works that are new to public display from private collections and the remarkable holdings of the Andrew & Betsy Wyeth Collection of the Wyeth Foundation for American Art, which is managed by the Brandywine as of 2022.
