Betye Saar: Drifting Toward Twilight

View a new site-specific installation by renowned artist Betye Saar, commissioned by The Huntington. The large-scale piece, Drifting Toward Twilight is located in the Virginia Steele Scott Galleries of American Art and includes a 17-foot-long vintage wooden canoe and found objects, including birdcages, antlers, and natural materials harvested by Saar from The Huntington’s 207-acre grounds. The work serves as the the centerpiece of an immersive exhibition of the same name, co-curated by Yinshi Lerman-Tan, The Huntington’s Bradford and Christine Mishler Associate Curator of American Art, and Sóla Saar Agustsson, Saar’s granddaughter and the Huntington Art Museum’s special programs and digitization assistant. The exhibition will remain on view for two years, and the work will become a permanent part of The Huntington’s American art collection.
