About the Museum
The Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art opened the iconic Gunnar Birkerts designed building on October 2, 1994. At the core of the permanent collection is the Bebe and Crosby Kemper Collection, a gift by the Museum’s donors R. Crosby Kemper and his wife Bebe Kemper, and the Kemper Foundations. The collection includes works by such artists as Louise Bourgeois, Christian Boltanski, Jasper Johns, Helen Frankenthaler, Frank Stella, Joan Mitchell, Jackson Pollock, Robert Rauschenberg, Hung Liu, Robert Motherwell, Deborah Butterfield, Fairfield Porter, Wayne Thiebaud, Grace Hartigan, Georgia O’Keeffe, Christopher Brown, Willem de Kooning, and Robert Mapplethorpe.
Each year, the Museum presents 10–12 special exhibitions in its galleries. The group and solo artist exhibitions feature established and emerging artists from the United States and around the world. Past special exhibitions have included works by Alex Katz, Liza Lou, Christian Boltanski, Kojo Griffin, Alison Saar, and Fairfield Porter, among many others. Lectures, film and video series, performances, and workshops are offered on a regular basis.
A variety of free programming for children and families is offered throughout the year. The objective of the Kemper Museum educational programs is to engage children and adults in discussion about contemporary art and how it relates to their lives. Groups of ten or more may schedule free docent-led guided tours of the Kemper Museum’s permanent collection and special exhibitions
