Robert DeWeese: A Look Ahead comes to Billings from the Holter Museum of Art in Helena, which received the estate of Montana artist and teacher Robert DeWeese after his death in 1990. From these immense holdings, the Holter Museum of Art has coordinated a beautiful and comprehensive exhibition. In Billings, we will supplement the exhibition with some of DeWeese’s works in the Yellowstone Art Museum’s permanent collection.
