MAC acquires a Werner

Montreal's Musée d'art contemporain (MAC) has chosen a work by Studio Arts chair Janet Werner as one of its recent acquisitions.
 
Earthling (Red Sweater), 2012, is a striking work that combines the portrait genre with pictorial and formal concerns.

Werner is among the number of artists who are contributing to a revival of painting, according to Marie Fraser, Chief Curator and Director of Education at the MAC. Read Fraser's story about the acquisition.
