Dan Dailey: Impressions of the Human Spirit

Currier Museum of Art, Manchester, New Hampshire
September 26–February 2, 2025

Dailey’s colorful, elegantly whimsical glass works were born of his dissatisfaction with the hegemony of abstract expressionism in the early 1960s. Taking the human figure and ordinary objects as his inspiration, he innovated in a medium that had yet to be accepted in mainstream art circles. The works in this retrospective demonstrate his ongoing spirit of experimentation and iconoclasm.
