“Steve Wheeler: The Oracle Visiting the 21st Century” is a museum-quality show that places the work of this idiosyncratic American artist (1912-1992) in the context of his peers in the 1940s group of Indian Space Painters. The show also features a number of contemporary artists working in a similar vein today. Classic Wheelers such as Woman Easting a Hotdog (1950-75) and The Power of Memory (ca. 1949) are on view, as well some notable examples of pre-Columbian and Native American art that were the source of inspiration.
