The Arlington Museum of Art is bringing the mind-bending work of M.C. Escher to Arlington for its summer exhibition. With over 150 works spanning the career of the graphic designer, M.C. Escher: Infinite Variations explores the metamorphic work of one of the most famous printmakers in modern times. The exhibition is open from April 26 – August 3, 2025 at the Arlington Museum of Art.
“The Arlington Museum of Art strives to inspire conversations about the intersection of art and perception. M.C. Escher was a master of recognizing boundaries and pushing beyond them to create new realities,” says Arlington Museum of Art President & CEO Chris Hightower. “We hope our community discovers new ways to engage with Escher’s work through their own experiences while appreciating his illusory genius and beauty.”
Coming from the largest private traveling exhibition of Escher’s work in the world, this exhibition includes some of the artist’s finest works, starting with his early bookplates, to “landscapes, tessellations, and impossible worlds”, and concluding with his very last print, Snakes (1969). When experiencing this exhibition, visitors can expect to fully immerse themselves in the world and work of M.C. Escher through vibrant displays, interactive elements, digital media, and new immersive approaches to the artist’s career. They will understand why Escher asked, “Are you sure a floor cannot be a ceiling?”
This is a Single Source Traveling Exhibition provided by PAN Art Connections.
