Education Hallway
Have you ever visited a museum only to see a painting or sculpture
that looked very familiar already, and wondered why? Or pondered how
many times an artist labored over their creation before getting it
“right”? In this small selection of works, we explored these questions
through familiar objects from our permanent collection by five
different artists, including Albrecht Dürer, Michiel Sweerts, Peter
Paul Rubens, Eva Hesse, and Arshile Gorky.
Organized by Jason Trimmer, Curator of Education
