• The only book available on the collection of the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts
Founded in 1937, the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts is the largest cultural institution of its kind in the state, offering a unique blend of visual and performing arts experiences. This richly illustrated book celebrates the opening of the museum's new landmark building, introducing the museum's collection within its stunning new architecture and landscape for the first time. AMFA's international collection spans seven centuries, with strengths in works on paper and contemporary craft, and includes notable holdings by artists from Arkansas, the Mid-South region, and across the United States and Europe. Located in Little Rock's oldest urban green space, MacArthur Park, AMFA's landmark building and grounds are designed by Studio Gang and SCAPE, in collaboration with Polk Stanley Wilcox Architects. This celebratory volume will be essential to all visitors, and anyone interested in the art and architecture of the American South.
