Wyeth exhibit sets a record

The Philadelphia Museum of Art said its Andrew Wyeth exhibition drew 177,000 visitors in 15 1/2 weeks, the highest-ever attendance at the museum for a living artist.

“Andrew Wyeth: Memory and Magic,” which closed July 16, displayed more than 100 works spanning the 89-year-old artist’s seven-decade career -- portraits, still lifes, drawings, watercolors and landscapes, including pieces from the artist’s own collection.
