The Madison Museum of Contemporary Art (MMoCA) has acquired a significant work by artist and former University of Wisconsin-Madison professor, Warrington Colescott. The museum will present a solo exhibition of Colescott's work in the fall of 2025, featuring the newly acquired piece alongside other works from its collection.
This acquisition and exhibition highlight the museum's commitment to preserving and showcasing the legacy of influential regional artists. Colescott, a celebrated printmaker and satirist, played a pivotal role in Wisconsin's art scene for decades, making this a meaningful addition to the museum's holdings and a key event for understanding local art history.
