Major Philadelphia Art Exhibitions


Philadelphia MuseumBarnes Foundation, 2025 Benjamin Franklin Parkway.


  • The first comprehensive survey of the painter in nearly half a century, William Glackens brings together 45 paintings and about 25 works on paper from public and private collections throughout the U.S. The exhibit concentrates on the most pivotal, adventurous and distinct works, including At Mouquin’s and The Soda Fountain. Fun fact: Albert Barnes and William Glackens attended Philadelphia’s Central High School together and were close friends. Glackens encouraged Barnes’ appreciation of modern French painting. November 8, 2014-February 2, 2015
