- **Event Description**: Curator and collectors present on the exhibition "Humanist Touch: Works from the Weber Collection"About this EventCurator Laura Roulet and Collectors Joan and Bruce Weber, will discuss the exhibition "Humanist Touch: Works from the Weber Collection", in a gallery talk scheduled forSaturday, 2:00- 3:00pmAbout the exhibition:Presented by the Alper Initiative for Washington ArtJoan and Bruce Weber, CollectorsLaura Roulet, CuratorAssembled over four decades, these works from the Weber collection reflect Joan and Bruce Weber’s long engagement with contemporary DMV artists and galleries. When they describe their collection, a strong sense of community emerges, one enriched by personal ties to the artists and by the many conversations, visits, and encounters that shaped their choices.Humanist Touch invites viewers into this world of intuitive, heartfelt collecting. Guided by a principle they call Humanist—the belief that art should reveal the hand of the maker and “demand something from us”—the Webers gravitate toward expressive mark-making, layered surfaces, and works that offer an authentic encounter with human creativity.For visitors, the exhibition provides a rare glimpse into how a meaningful collection grows over time. It reveals which artworks linger in memory, reward close looking, and continue to spark curiosity years after acquisition. The Webers’ approach shows how collecting can begin not with expertise or wealth, but with genuine interest and the courage to follow what moves you.Featuring painting, sculpture, photography, video, computer art, and performance documentation, the exhibition spans styles from Cubist abstraction to hyperrealism, with in-depth representations of John Winslow, Jason Gubiotti, and Inga Frick.Ultimately, Humanist Touch invites viewers to consider their own engagement with art: What images stay with you? What sparks your curiosity? And what might you choose to live with should you begin a collection of your own?This event will be held in-person at the museum.Please direct any questions about this event to the museum's main contact for this event, Patricia Poku-Speight at ppoku@american.edu.Image: J.J.

We focus on international art because American University has a global commitment. We show political art because the university is committed to human rights, social justice, and political engagement. We support the artists in our community because the university takes an active and responsible role in the formation of our contemporary art and culture.We present exhibitions that mirror American University’s aspiration to be the premier Washington-based, global university. Our programming puts the best art of our region in a national and international context. Our collections enable us to present the art history of Washington, while our Kunsthalle attitude brings the most provocative art of our time to our place."
