Shifting the focus from Frederic Remington's popular Western imagery to his less familiar Eastern subjects, this special exhibition, Another Frontier: Frederic Remington's East, invites visitors to expand their knowledge of the context in which Remington worked, while gaining a deeper appreciation of his artistic talent.

The art museum that bears Sid Richardson’s name is dedicated to displaying his collection of Western paintings. On display are paintings by two of the most celebrated artists of the American West: Frederic Remington (1861-1909) and Charles M. Russell (1864-1926).
Works by these two artists form the core of the collection, which includes early paintings by each artist, as well as later paintings produced at the height of their careers.
The current exhibition of 27 artworks reunites popular paintings by Remington and Russell with two works that have not been displayed in the museum since prior to the museum’s renovation in 2005 — Grubpile (The Evening Pipe) (1890) and A Sioux Chief (1901) — both of which are newly framed in period reproduction
frames. (more)
