NASSAU COUNTY MUSEUM OF ART

New Exhibition Opening November 22, 2025

NCMA proudly announces our next exhibition: 

Real, Surreal, and Photoreal

On view from November 22, 2025 to March 8, 2026.

NCMA invites visitors into a world where reality is uncertain, dreams take shape, and the line between fact and imagination disappears. From dreamlike landscapes and uncanny portraits to images so exact they look like photographs, these works challenge what we see and what we believe.

Real, Surreal, and Photoreal, on view from November 22, 2025 through March 8, 2026, features works from American and European artists, including portraits by such noteworthy Realists as John Currin and Fairfield Porter; rare tapestries and works on paper by Surrealist masters Salvador Dalí and Man Ray; vibrant paintings by Alex Katz; sculpture by Long Island native Carole A. Feuerman; and paintings by John French Sloan and William James Glackens. The exhibition reveals how all of these artists and many others have reflected the world around them. Real, Surreal, and Photoreal invites you to look closer — at art, reality, and the mysterious spaces in between.
