Discovering the Art Treasures at the OMA |
| The Orlando Museum of Art's permanent collections provide Central Florida residents and visitors with daily inspiration. On view now, in an exhibition highlighting critically acclaimed works from OMA's permanent collections, is Florida Psalm [Anagrams (A Pun)], by Robert Rauschenberg. This artist came to international prominence in the 1950's, when his paintings and sculptures helped launch the Pop Art movement. This art treasure was commissioned by the OMA with funds provided by the Acquisition Trust in 1997 and was selected by The Capital Grille for sponsorship. |
