The Nasher Sculpture Center will present its 2025 summer show, "Generations: 150 Years of Sculpture." Drawn from the Nasher’s permanent collection, the new selection of works features numerous recent acquisitions and offers conversations about the possibilities for sculpture, both past and present.

The exhibition features over 50 works of art, 22 acquired in the last year, including 11 of 36 works as part of a major gift that the museum has received from Nancy A. Nasher and David J. Haemisegger in 2024. The gift includes works by 24 artists, with sculptures by Nairy Baghramian, Kevin Beasley, Huma Bhabha, Anthony Caro, Jaume Plensa, Jean Tinguely, and others.

The period encompassed by "Generations" spans two world wars, astounding technological innovations, dramatic changes to the earth’s environment, and increased movement across geographic borders for people of all kinds. All the while, artists have continued to find new ways to give form to concerns as old as humanity itself. Conversations among the artworks fall into thematic groupings of sculptures and works on paper by artists of different generations.

The exhibition will remain on display through August 24.
