From the realism of the nineteenth century to the modern sensibilities of the mid-twentieth century\, these works capture moments of transformation in the American story—shaped by innovation\, shifting ideals\, and expanding global connections. \nHighlights acquired through the Horace G. Fralin Charitable Trust include masterworks by John Singer Sargent\, Maria Oakey Dewing\, Irving Wiles\, and others\, whose portraits and interiors balance refinement with modern sensibility. A newly installed suite of landscape paintings—from rugged Adirondack scenes to luminous coastal views—features Winslow Homer\, Arthur Wesley Dow\, Carducius Plantagenet Ream\, and others\, tracing how artists reimagined the land as both subject and symbol of American identity. \nElsewhere\, Norman Rockwell’s Framed and vibrant beach scenes by Maurice Prendergast and Edward Potthast explore storytelling\, leisure\, and the rhythms of everyday modern life. A Wunderkammer-style display brings together objects such as a Tiffany vase\, a Leonor Fini perfume bottle\, and a Japanese inrō\, evoking the nineteenth-century fascination with collecting that helped shape museums themselves. Regional voices\, including Walter Biggs and Allen Ingles Palmer\, extend that narrative closer to home\, grounding national stories in the life and artistry of Southwest Virginia. \nA dedicated gallery\, made possible by Roanoke native Peggy Macdowell Thomas\, examines the intertwined legacies of Thomas Eakins\, Susan Macdowell Eakins\, and Elizabeth (“Lizzie”) Macdowell Kenton—artists whose family ties and shared realism illuminate the personal networks behind American art’s enduring power. \nTogether\, these works offer a panoramic view of America—its people\, landscapes\, and creative spirit—seen through the eyes of generations who helped define it. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Driving?

Most known for her semiprecious adorned minaudières\, or compact occasion cases\, her creations also include day bags\, belts\, and pillboxes. \nJudith Leiber (1921-2018) was born Judit Pető and raised in an upper-middle-class Jewish family in Budapest\, Hungary. Inspired by her mother’s handbag collection\, Leiber became the first female member of the Hungarian Handbag Makers Guild and the first female apprentice at Pessl\, Budapest’s most prestigious handbag company. Leiber’s training was cut short by the Nazi occupation of Hungary\, which placed her family under harsh restrictions. They initially survived under Swiss protection but were later forced into a Jewish ghetto\, where they were eventually liberated by the Soviet Red Army. \nIn 1946\, she married Gerson Leiber\, an American soldier stationed in Budapest\, and in 1947 emigrated with him to the United States to make a home in New York City. Leiber emerged as the only female handbag designer in the United States\, eventually founding her own brand\, Judith Leiber Handbags\, in 1963. She eventually sold the company to Time Products in 1993 after revolutionizing the industry by elevating handbags to become works of art. \nLeiber’s minaudières are marvels of craftsmanship. Every piece began with a wax model in her New York factory\, then traveled to Florence\, Italy\, to be pressed into brass forms then plated in gold or silver\, returning to New York for assembly and lining. Finally\, teams of artisans hand-applied up to 13\,000 Swarovski crystals\, a process that could take weeks. Her iconic beading began by accident when an early bag returned with flawed plating. Leiber disguised the flaw with crystals\, establishing what would become her signature innovative style. Over the course of her career Leiber created over 3\,500 designs inspired by every facet of the world around her. \nConsidered one of the largest repositories of Judith Leiber bags in the United States\, the Taubman Museum of Art’s Permanent Collection comprises nearly 120 pieces gifted by regional donors Rosalie K. and Sydney Shaftman\, for whom the gallery is named. This gallery in the museum is dedicated to the permanent display of this collection and is frequently rotated to showcase the limitless range of Leiber’s artistic legacy. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Driving?

Envisioned as a sparkling cavern\, the installation was designed as an homage to architect Randall Stout’s first vision for the gallery\, which would have displayed the minaudières in plexiglass boxes suspended from the ceiling to the floor. The cavern concept is in keeping with Stout’s idea of the second-floor hallway as a riverbed with gallery “caverns” branching from it. \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n EXHIBITION PREVIEW\n SELECTED WORKS\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Judith Peto Leiber (1921-2018)\, Personalized Roanoke Star Clutch\, undated\, Swarovski crystals\, onyx\, gold plate\, Taubman Museum of Art; Gift of Rosalie K. and Sydney Shaftman\, 2008.079 \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Judith Peto Leiber (1921-2018)\, Egg Minaudiere\, undated\, pearls\, rubies\, Swarovski crystals\, gold\, Taubman Museum of Art; Gift of Rosalie K. and Sydney Shaftman\, 2008.074 \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Judith Peto Leiber (1921-2018)\, Chinese Dragon Minaudiere\, 1985\, gold plate\, garnet\, Swarovski crystals\, Taubman Museum of Art; Gift of Rosalie K. and Sydney Shaftman\, 2008.063 \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Judith Peto Leiber (1921-2018)\, Indian-inspired Box (Paisley Shawl) Handbag\, 1994\, multicolored Swarovski crystals\, gold plate\, amethyst\, Taubman Museum of Art; Gift of Rosalie K. and Sydney Shaftman\, 2008.058 \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Judith Peto Leiber (1921-2018)\, Black and Gold Fan Minaudiere\, 1996\, gold plate\, Swarovski crystals\, Taubman Museum of Art; Gift of Rosalie K. and Sydney Shaftman\, 2008.026 \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Judith Peto Leiber (1921-2018)\, Floral Hobo Bag\, undated\, Swarovski crystals\, gold\, Taubman Museum of Art; Gift of Rosalie K. and Sydney Shaftman\, 2008.094 \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Judith Peto Leiber (1921-2018)\, Flower and Trellis Pattern Handbag\, undated\, Swarovski crystals\, Taubman Museum of Art; Gift of Rosalie K. and Sydney Shaftman\, 2008.088 \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Judith Peto Leiber (1921-2018)\, Wrapped Box Pillbox\, undated\, Swarovski crystals on metal\, Taubman Museum of Art; Gift of Rosalie K. and Sydney Shaftman\, 2005.008 \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Judith Peto Leiber (1921-2018)\, Penguin Handbag\, 1995\, Swarovski crystals\, gold plate\, jet\, Taubman Museum of Art; Gift of Rosalie K. and Sydney Shaftman\, 2008.010 URL:https://www.taubmanmuseum.org/event/a-sparkling-legacy-the-judith-leiber-collection/ CATEGORIES:Current Exhibitions,Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.taubmanmuseum.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Leiber-Roanoke-Star-Clutch.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260418T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20280611T235959 DTSTAMP:20260417T191753Z CREATED:20260219T194738Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260417T191753Z UID:10001950-1776470400-1844380799@www.taubmanmuseum.org SUMMARY:Mokha Laget: Intersecting Terrains DESCRIPTION:WHAT’S\n HAPPENING\n AT THE\n MUSEUM\n \n \n SEE WHAT’S ON\n AT THE TAUBMAN\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n \n\n\n \n \n \n Newsweek Names Taubman One of Nation’s Best Free Museums \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n The Taubman Museum of Art celebrates a major milestone in 2026: its 75th anniversary. To mark this significant occasion\, the Museum has reflected on how best to honor both its rich history and the vibrant Roanoke Valley community it serves. Central to this celebration is the Museum’s iconic architecture\, which embodies the spirit of its surroundings. Designed by the acclaimed architect Randall Stout\, the building itself is a striking tribute to the landscape\, with dynamic lines\, sweeping curves\, and innovative forms that echo the natural beauty of the region. \nMokha Laget was commissioned to reinterpret the Museum’s architecture through her distinctive abstract style\, translating structural forms and spatial dynamics into vibrant\, evocative compositions. The title\, Intersecting Terrains\, engages the geometry of Randall Stout’s design\, while evoking regional geology\, history and abstraction. It gestures conceptually to Laget’s practice: layered terrains across scale\, intersecting forms\, and perceptual systems in motion. The mural invites viewers to experience landscape as interconnected: ecological\, architectural\, historical\, and abstract- rather than separate or static. \nThe mural for the Taubman Museum is conceived as a dialogue between architecture\, landscape\, and abstraction. Drawing from Randall Stout’s masterful design\, its composition mirrors the building’s multi-faceted  geometry while evoking the surrounding layered planes and shifting tonalities of the Blue Ridge. The palette of ochres\, greens\, and silvery blues references the region’s ecology\, while deep black accents allude to the area’s coal mining history. Flowing contours evoke the movement of water\, the lifeblood of the region and a tribute to the ancestral Monacan peoples who first inhabited these lands. Intersecting lines and forms suggest a network of connectivity between natural systems\, human histories\, and architectural space\, expressing how these layers of meaning interweave within my signature language of geometric abstraction. \n  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Driving? Get Directions\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Share This!\n \n \n \n \n \n Mokha Laget is a French-American artist known for her bold\, colorful abstract paintings. Born in 1959 in Oran\, Algeria\, she grew up in North Africa\, where the strong light and wide landscapes made a lasting impact on her sense of color and space. She earned her BFA in Fine Arts at the Corcoran College of Art and Design in Washington\, DC\, where she studied under prominent leaders of the Washington Color School. \nOver the years\, Laget has lived and traveled around the world\, working in many fields including curation\, art restoration\, and language translation. These experiences exposed her to different cultures and visual traditions\, all which feed into her art. Since the mid-1990s\, she has lived in New Mexico\, where the desert environment continues to influence her work. \nLaget’s work has been exhibited at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art\, Oklahoma; Knoxville Museum of Art\, Tennessee; Amarillo Museum of Art\, Texas; and Milwaukee Art Museum\, Wisconsin; to name only a few. She has received awards from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation and the Hammersely Foundation\, among others. \nLaget has created multiple public art projects\, including a commission by Art in Embassies/U.S. Department of State for the U.S. Embassy in Nouakchott\, Mauritania; a street painting on 8th Street NW in Washington D.C. commissioned by the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities\, in collaboration with the Corcoran Gallery of Art and the Kreeger Museum; and most recently\, a large-scale installation at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington\, DC. \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n KEEP EXPLORING\n \n View All Upcoming Exhibitions\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n Oct 10\, 2026 \n\n \n – \n \n 6:30 pm \n \n \n – \n \n \n 11:00 pm \n \n \n \n The Fabulous 50s: Our Founding Decade VIP Party \n \n \n View Exhibit \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n Oct 10\, 2026 \n\n \n – \n \n 7:00 pm \n \n \n – \n \n \n 11:00 pm \n \n \n \n Through the Decades: Glowback Party! \n \n \n View Exhibit \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n Oct 11\, 2026 \n\n \n – \n \n 12:00 pm \n \n \n – \n \n \n 5:00 pm \n \n \n \n Member Preview Day – American Made: Paintings and Sculpture from the DeMell Jacobsen Collection \n \n \n View Exhibit URL:https://www.taubmanmuseum.org/mokha-laget-mural CATEGORIES:Exhibitions,Upcoming Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.taubmanmuseum.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Mokha-Laget-Intersecting-Terrains.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260622T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20270620T235959 DTSTAMP:20260720T175649Z CREATED:20260707T195415Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260720T175649Z UID:10002031-1782086400-1813535999@www.taubmanmuseum.org SUMMARY:Figures of Anguish\, Figures of Compassion: Pierre Daura and the Spanish Civil War DESCRIPTION:WHAT’S\n HAPPENING\n AT THE\n MUSEUM\n \n \n SEE WHAT’S ON\n AT THE TAUBMAN\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n \n \n Newsweek Names Taubman One of Nation’s Best Free Museums \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n Catalan-American artist Pierre Daura was born in Menorca\, Spain\, in 1896 and raised and educated in Barcelona. Though he spent more than two decades living in Paris\, exhibited his artwork throughout Europe\, and eventually became an American citizen\, Daura’s love for the people\, culture\, and landscapes of Catalonia remained strong. \nAfter the fall of the Spanish monarchy following elections in 1931\, Spain entered a period of growing political unrest. Deep political divisions emerged\, the economy weakened\, and democracy was under threat. Seeking to establish a military dictatorship\, Francisco Franco and his Nationalist forces waged war against the democratically formed Second Spanish Republic. \nDaura was a socially conscious and committed humanitarian. Through 1936\, he worked with the Spanish Embassy to aid Loyalist refugees displaced by the violence and corresponded with his family in Spain to ensure their safety. Tormented by the news of increasing atrocity and destruction in his homeland\, Daura enlisted in the Spanish Republican Army in January 1937. He was stationed in Teruel\, Spain\, one of the war’s most intense conflict areas in the country. By October\, Daura had been promoted to lieutenant\, but the Republican front was losing ground. After suffering an injury\, he returned home to his family in St. Cirq\, France. Franco and the Nationalists declared victory in March of 1939. \nThe Spanish Civil War marked a turning point in both Daura’s life and art. This exhibition spotlight presents work from the Taubman Museum of Art Permanent Collection that reflect Daura’s centering of human subjects amidst war or violence\, as well as works that display his emotional sensitivity\, social awareness\, and desire for compassion. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Driving?

Because Yorktown was a siege rather than a dramatic battle\, artists have long faced the challenge of how to represent its significance in visual art. Over time\, they turned to portraits\, landscapes\, battle scenes\, and commemorative images to capture the meaning of this pivotal moment. \nOrganized in collaboration with George Washington’s Mount Vernon and presented in celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence\, Washington’s Greatest Victory: Yorktown and American Art explores how artists have interpreted Yorktown and shaped its place in national memory. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Driving?

Through recurring motifs\, colors\, gestures\, and materials\, viewers learned to recognize sacred figures and understand complex narratives at a glance.    \nOne of the most enduring materials in this visual language is gold. Long prized for its rarity\, brilliance\, and resistance to tarnish\, gold has been used to signify power\, dignity\, and transcendence. Gilding\, the primary technique for applying gold to art and decorative pieces\, has been used across cultures to transform objects into vessels of reverence and wonder.   \nThis exhibition highlights the historical use of gilding in iconography\, as well as the processes of contemporary artists who incorporate modern materials and methods to expand gilding’s creative possibilities while preserving its distinctive radiance.   \nInterdisciplinary painter\, sculptor\, and installation artist Peter D. Gerakaris’s Icons series ascribes depictions of endangered and rare plants and animals with the reverence and honor paid to religious figures. Gerakaris\, through his use of gold and reimaging of visual iconography\, creates an avenue for his own individual reconnection with nature as well as a call for preservation\, inviting viewers to contemplate their relationship with nature\, respect for the landscape\, and awareness of a changing climate.  \nOn view in the American Art Gallery. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Driving?

Her vibrant sculptures appeared in museums\, universities\, airports\, civic spaces\, and other public settings across the country\, bringing art directly into people’s everyday lives. \n\n\n\nFollowing the film\, Gary Israel\, Gillespie’s son and co-producer of the documentary\, will take questions from the audience and share personal stories and insights into his mother’s art\, life\, and legacy. \n\n\n\nIn addition\, you can visit the galleries to see examples of Gillespie’s work on view. \n\n\n\nExperience the story of an artist who spent a lifetime creating on her own terms—and whose journey began right here in Roanoke. \n\n\n\nFree and welcoming to all\, though registration is required to reserve your seat. \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Driving?

From early portraiture and sweeping landscapes to still lifes\, trompe l’oeil\, Modernism\, and Realism\, the exhibition features celebrated artists including John Singer Sargent\, Mary Cassatt\, Robert Henri\, Elizabeth Catlett\, and Charles Alston. \nDuring this special members-only program\, Sharp and Stuhlman will offer an insider’s look at the exhibition\, sharing insights into the artists and works on view and the process of bringing highlights from this significant collection together for the first time. \nSharp has led the Dixon Gallery and Gardens since 2007\, overseeing significant growth in its collection\, exhibitions\, scholarship\, and community engagement. His career has also included curatorial positions at the Art Institute of Chicago and Norton Museum of Art. \nStuhlman is The Mint Museum’s Senior Curator of American Art and has extensive experience developing exhibitions and scholarship exploring American art. His work with the DeMell Jacobsen Collection helped shape American Made\, and he served as an editor of the exhibition’s accompanying catalogue. \nEnjoy the opportunity to hear directly from two members of the exhibition’s original curatorial team\, explore the galleries before the exhibition opens to the public\, and discover some of the stories behind American Made. \nNot a Member?

Higgins\, Curator of 75th Anniversary Gifts to the Permanent Collection\, takes a closer look at Modernism through works featured in American Made: Paintings and Sculpture from the DeMell Jacobsen Collection. \n\n\n\nAs American artists entered the 20th century\, many began experimenting with new ways of seeing and representing a rapidly changing world. Through selected paintings and sculpture in American Made\, Higgins will explore how artists broke with convention\, experimented with form\, color\, and abstraction\, and developed distinctly modern approaches to making art. \n\n\n\nCome early to grab a cup of coffee and connect with others\, then head into the galleries for a short\, engaging conversation that might leave you looking at Modernism (and American art) a little differently. \n\n\n\nWhether you’re an art enthusiast or simply curious\, Morning Muse offers a creative boost before work\, school\, or whatever the rest of your day holds. \n\n\n\nMembers: Free | General Public: $5 \n\n\n\nNot a Member?

Their only prompt was\, “What does independence mean to you?”\, and their only requirement was that the work needed to be either a lithograph or serigraph. The artists were free to choose print size and the printers who produced the editions. \nThe Taubman Museum of Art (then the Roanoke Fine Arts Center) was one of two recipients of the portfolio in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts was the other recipient. \nThe 12 prints in the portfolio were the first 12 works to be accessioned into the Museum’s Permanent Collection in 1976. \nThe portfolio offers a window onto how these contemporary artists thought about the United States and the idea of independence in the 1970s. \nExhibiting them in 2026\, the Semiquicentennial of the United States\, allows for visitors to consider what has changed or stayed the over the past half century. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Driving?
