Other planned exhibits at The Frist Center include Twighlight Visions, a celebration of Paris as the foundation of Surrealism, and a showcase of the American modernism works of Georgia O'Keefe and her contemporaries. The Center will also feature the photo-jigsaw-sculpture art of Oliver Herring and Thomas Hart Benton's drawings and watercolors, which were featured in the classic books of Mark Twain.
