A recent gift to the Lyman Allyn, the McCagg collection is eclectic and personal, reflecting Louise’s artistic interests and friendships and her family’s geographic reach. A Connecticut native, Louise McCagg cultivated artistic friendships in Connecticut, Michigan, Eastern Europe, and New York City, where she was a member of the women-run A.I.R. Gallery collective in Brooklyn. In her own work, McCagg produced portrait face masks of friends and colleagues, playing with scale and materiality to configure various sculptural installations, exploring relationships, identity, and artistic community.

With over 40 dynamic sculptures, paintings, and works on paper by both celebrated and lesser-known artists, The Artist’s Eye explores remarkable artworks compiled by a feminist and politically active artist and collector. The opening reception is Friday, Sept. 27, from 5 – 7 p.m. Museum members are free, and non-members are $10. To register, call 860.443.2545 ext. 2129 or email info@lymanallyn.org.
