As the sole venue for this exhibition, AFAM’s presentation was the most comprehensive gathering of Hirshfield’s work ever assembled. Featuring loans from private and public collections, the exhibition featured over 40 of the self-taught artist’s paintings, including iconic works such as Girl with Flowers, Stage Beauties, Parliamentary Buildings, and Inseparable Friends.

This installation in the Audrey B. Heckler Gallery looks back at over six decades, highlighting key exhibitions in the history of the American Folk Art Museum. It features a selection of beloved works of art and rarely-seen documents from the Museum’s archives.
