    PAFA’s permanent collection has grown by leaps and bounds over the past few years through exciting purchases and generous gifts. This dynamic presentation of postwar art will integrate major recent acquisitions with the collection for the first time, including Jules Kirschenbaum’s "Woman with Fighting Dogs" (1958), Kehinde Wiley’s "Three Wise Men Greeting Entry Into Lagos" (2008), and Mark Bradford’s "Untitled (Dementia)" (2009) among other surprises. Large-scale works by Jennifer Bartlett, Leon Golub, Barbara Kruger and others will be included in new juxtapositions that reveal the growing strength and unusual character of PAFA’s postwar collection. This installation is one in a series of collaborative installations between PAFA’s Curator of Modern Art, Robert Cozzolino and Julien Robson, Curator of Contemporary Art.
