Detroit Institute of Arts adds first surrealist painting by a woman artist Acquisition of works by Rita Kernn-Larsen and Wolfgang Paalen bolsters museum’s surrealism collection. DETROIT, MICH .-The Detroit Institute of Arts’ board of directors has approved the purchase of a work by Danish artist Rita Kernn-Larsen (1904-1998), furthering the museum’s goal of increasing the number of works by women artists in the collection. This will be the first work by the artist—and the first Surrealist painting by a woman—to enter the museum’s collection; it will also be one of the only paintings by Kernn-Larsen in an American museum collection. “And Life Anew…” will bolster and diversify the DIA’s holdings of Scandinavian art as well as modern European Surrealist art, which includes such masterpieces as “Shadow Country” (1927) by Yves Tanguy and “Self-Portrait II” (1938) by Joan Miró. The museum also recently acquired a Surrealist sculpture by Austrian artist Wolfgang Paalen
