Renowned American artist Betye Saar’s large-scale work “Drifting Toward Twilight”
Experience a unique site-specific installation by acclaimed artist Betye Saar, commissioned by The Huntington. Drifting Toward Twilight, a large-scale installation in the Virginia Steele Scott Galleries of American Art, features a 17-foot-long vintage wooden canoe and discovered objects such as birdcages, antlers, and natural materials gathered by Saar from The Huntington’s 207-acre grounds. The work is the centerpiece of the same-titled immersive exhibition, co-curated by Yinshi Lerman-Tan, The Huntington’s Bradford and Christine Mishler Associate Curator of American Art, and Sóla Saar Agustsson, Saar’s granddaughter and the Huntington Art Museum’s special programs and digitization assistant. The show will be open for two years, and the work will become a permanent part of The Huntington’s American art collection.
