The Oklahoma City Museum of Art is celebrating the legacy of American artist Paul Reed with a vibrant new exhibition and an expanded lineup of related items in the museum’s gift shop. Reed was part of the Washington Color School, a movement that came into its own in the 1960s and became known for staining color directly onto unprimed canvas, allowing the texture of the canvas to remain visible.
The celebration extends beyond the galleries and into the museum store, where visitors can find Paul Reed–inspired merchandise, including scarves and pocket squares made locally by William and Lauren, allowing guests to quite literally wear the art. The store also features prints from the exhibition, prisms inspired by Reed’s interest in geometric color, home décor items, and specialty goods from Oklahoma-based makers.
