  • About the Exhibition: Double Solitaire: The Surreal Worlds of Kay Sage and Yves Tanguy explores the exchange of ideas that informed the work of the important Surrealist artists Kay Sage and Yves Tanguy during their fifteen-year relationship. It is the first exhibition of Surrealist art for The Mint Museum; the first major exhibition of Surrealism in the region; and the first anywhere to examine Sage and Tanguy’s work from this perspective. By intermingling Sage and Tanguy’s paintings, this exhibition of approximately seventy paintings tells the fascinating story of their complex relationship and, more importantly, elucidates the commonalities and ties between each artists’ work. Visitors will see firsthand the impact each artist had upon the other as they continued to explore and develop their own unique visual languages. While many of the paintings in the exhibition are drawn from prominent public collections, several privately-held works will also be included—some of which have never before been exhibited, and some of which the artists dedicated to each other.
