Members Morning: Woman-Ochre, Reflecting on the Theft
Saturday
9:00 am – 10:00 am
Current Closure
UAMA is currently closed for a museum improvement project. Please check back for reopening info!
We believe in the power of art to spark essential conversations and enhance research at our university and in our community.
In November 1985, the unthinkable happened...
A treasured painting in the UAMA permanent collection, Willem de Kooning's Woman-Ochre, was cut from its frame and stolen from the museum.
Forty years later, Woman-Ochre's story has a few new chapters and — most importantly — a happy ending. Join us for this special tell-all anniversary presentation by Olivia Miller, former UAMA director and curator. Register below to join us!
Members Morning is a series where the UAMA opens one hour early to Museum Members on the first Saturday of every month and offers exclusive programming. Not yet a UAMA Member? Learn about the benefits.
