The year of Zorach-Ipcar continues into the fall, with exhibitions by Dahlov Ipcar in Cape Elizabeth, her mother, Marguerite Zorach, in Rockland and her father, William Zorach, at the Portland Museum of Art. Ipcar died at age 99 in February.

The Farnsworth Art Museum continues its exhibition, “Marguerite Zorach – An Art-Filled Life,” through early January. It includes 60 paintings and textiles that Zorach made between 1910 and 1965. And the Portland Museum of Art is showing the sculpture of William Zorach as part of an excellent group show, “A New American Sculpture, 1914-1945: Lachaise, Laurent, Nadelman, and Zorach,” through Sept. 8.

In Rockland, the Farnsworth Art Museum opens a major new exhibition, “Black and White: Louise Nevelson/Pedro Guerrero,” that explores the life and work of Nevelson, whom this exhibition presents as one of the most important sculptors of the 20th century. The show will include art from the Farnsworth collection, as well as photographs of Nevelson in her home and studio by Pedro E. Guerrero. Guerrero’s photographs of Nevelson, along with her work, offer an in-depth look at her life and career. Nevelson grew up in Rockland.
