New MABA Art Exhibit: Wings and Wilderness at New York’s Hyde Collection

Mass Audubon’s Museum of American Bird Art (MABA) is collaborating with The Hyde Collection to present Wings and Wilderness: Birds and Landscapes from the Northeast. 

This exhibition, which is on view through October 11, uncovers how art can reveal deep connections between wildlife, landscapes, and regional identity. With this collaborative installation, we invite people to see the Northeast as an interconnected ecological community that has inspired artists for generations.  

Art on View 

The exhibition features a range of traditional and contemporary works of photography, painting, and sculpture representing numerous bird species native to the Northeast. Key works from The Hyde Collection include landscape depictions of the Adirondacks by Winslow Homer and Mary Walters, paintings of Lake George by William Hart and John Marin, and a series of three works by Willard Metcalf.  

Works on view from MABA’s permanent collection include those by Andy Warhol, A. Elmer Crowell, and Indigenous artists Philip Young and Kananginak Pootoogook. Two paintings are making their public debut: Young's Loons with Eggs and Robert Verity Clem's Peregrine Falcon at Taughannock Falls. 

There are also pieces by Thomas Cole and Georgia O’Keefe on loan from the Fenimore Museum and the Albany Institute of Art and History.  

How to Visit 

The Hyde Collection is located in Glens Falls, New York just north of Saratoga Springs.
