Staying Visible: Agnes Pelton
The Euphrat Museum of Art is proud of this collection by the pioneering modernist
painter Agnes Pelton. They were donated by Cornelia and Irving Sussman, who were neighbors
and friends of Pelton, and whose gift was inspired by "Staying Visible," a 1981 Euphrat
exhibition and ongoing project to highlight the importance of archival material associated
with underrecognized artists. In the years since, the artist has gained significant
recognition, including a 2019-2021 traveling exhibit and book, "Agnes Pelton, Desert
Transcendentalist," which was featured at venues including the Phoenix Art Museum
and the Whitney Museum in New York City.
