Conceptual Art and the Sacred

Join us for a weekly series of in-depth explorations of select works of art on view in Scenes from the Collection, the Museum’s new exhibition featuring nearly 600 works from antiquities to contemporary art—many of which are on view for the first time.

What does it look like when contemporary artists test the limits of sacred geometry and form? Chris Gartrell, Assistant Manager of Adult Programs, considers this question through discussion of Sol Lewitt’s Skullcap Designed from Torah Ark (2001) and Peter Shire’s Menorah #7 (1986).

Included with Museum Admission; RSVP Recommended.
