Robert Motherwell: A Centenary Exhibition opens this weekend at Jerald Melberg Gallery. This survey show (with approx. 80 works!) covers many of the famed Abstract Expressionist’s most famous series, like the Elegies to the Spanish Republic and the Opens. This guy is a big deal and we’re lucky to be able to see his work in Charlotte! On view through August 29.
