‘Blue for You’ at the Menil Collection, Houston

4 October 2025 – 8 February 2026
Menil Collection, Houston, Texas

The video Blue for You (1981) by Anne Bean and Dov Eylath is currently on view in the exhibition Lines of Resolution: Drawing in the Advent of Television and Video at the Menil Collection, Houston, USA.

Co-curated by Dr Anna Lovatt, Associate Professor of Art History at Southern Methodist University, and Kelly Montana, Associate Curator, Menil Drawing Institute, the exhibition “explores the relationship between drawing, television, and video from the late 1950s into the 1980s. Personal electronics became widely available during this era and soon made their way into artists’ studios. These electric screens became a source of artistic imagery, a surface for inscription, and a device that could be manipulated to generate entirely new kinds of drawing.”
