Drawn exclusively from the Museum’s strong holdings of contemporary art, and on view in the DMA’s iconic Barrel Vault and surrounding galleries, Never Enough: Recent Acquisitions of Contemporary Art brings together more than 50 works in various media that have entered the DMA’s collection within the past five years. The vast majority of works will be on display for the first time since entering the collection. The DMA’s recent acquisitions of photography and video art are a highlight of the exhibition, including large-scale installations by Charles Atlas and Yuki Kimura, among others.
