CPF "Good Sports" Event – Wine and Cheese Reception

CPF’s 20^th Annual Good Sports Event will be held at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth.  The Modern maintains one of the foremost collections of post-World War II modern and contemporary art in the central United States and hosts major traveling exhibitions.  The permanent collection consists of more than 3,000 works including pieces by Anselm Kiefer, Robert Motherwell, Pablo Picasso, Jackson Pollock, Gerhard Richter, Susan Rothenberg, Richard Serra, Andres Serrano, Cindy Sherman, and Andy Warhol.

What’s even more exciting is that during our CPF reception, there will be a special exhibition, Andy Warhol: The Last Decade.  This is the first US museum survey exhibition to explore the work that this seminal American artist produced during the final eight years of his life.  Warhol entered a period of renewed vigor and enthusiasm in the 1980s that resulted in what was arguably the most productive period of his career. Along with an introduction to Warhol, it is divided into thematic sections based on significant Warhol series: abstract works; collaborations (featuring Jean-Michel Basquiat); black-and-white ads; works surrounding death and religion; self-portraits; camouflage patterns; and a concluding section of the artist’s Last Supper series.

Built in 2002, the Modern was designed by the Japanese architect Tadao Ando. Ando's design, which embodies the pure, unadorned elements of a modern work of art, is comprised of five long, flat-roofed pavilions situated on a 1.5 acre reflection pond. At night, the gallery pavilions are lit from within and reflect on the pond resembling a Japanese lantern.

Enjoy this unique exhibit while supporting the educational, counseling and referral services provided to patients and families by the Cleft Palate Foundation.  Thank you!

Bus boarding will begin at 6:30pm.
