The Menil Collection presents "Out of Thin Air: Emerging Forms." Selected from the museum's permanent collection, 29 works dating from the late 1930s to the present are united by a visual concept: emerging forms.

Not fully resolved or strictly defined, the selected works are open, suggestive images that seem as though they are still in the process of becoming. Artists represented include Lee Bontecou, John Cage, Gustavo Díaz, Hiroyuki Doi, Sonia Gechtoff, Gregory Masurovsky, Alan Saret, and Hedda Sterne, among others.

The show will include drawings acquired by John and Dominique de Menil as early as the 1950s, several gifts to the collection, and a recent acquisition.

The exhibit will be on display until January 26, 2025.
