Description

The new Bass opens to the public in Spring 2017. With a redesigned interior and an additional 10,000 square feet, The Bass unveils a new configuration to house four additional exhibition galleries and expanded public spaces. The Bass’ transformation also includes the opening of the new Creativity Center for education, featuring multiple classrooms and studios for enhanced programming.

The Bass presents temporary exhibitions of international contemporary art. In addition, a selection of works from the original Bass collection can be seen in the newly dedicated ‘Open Storage’ gallery, alongside a rotating series of artist projects in dialogue with the collection.

Who Were The Bass?

John Bass (1891-1978) and Johanna Redlich (m. Feb. 21, 1921) were Jewish-immigrants from Vienna, Austria who resided in Miami Beach. As President of the Fajardo Sugar Company of Puerto Rico, John Bass was also an amateur journalist, artist (namely painting and etching) and composer of published music. Mr. Bass collected both fine art and cultural artifacts, including a sizeable manuscript collection that now lives in the Carnegie Hall Archives. In 1963, the couple bequeathed a collection of more than 500 works, including Old Master paintings, textiles and sculptures to the City of Miami Beach, under the agreement that a Bass Museum of Art would remain open to the public in perpetuity. John Bass directed the museum from its founding in 1964 until his death in 1978.
