Exhibition sections draw connections between works of all media. In Description: Seeing the Object, viewers are encouraged to explore artworks visually, through the language of form, color, and surface patterning. In Intention: The Artist Speaks, each object reflects a specific world view, emotion, or imaginative viewpoint of the artist. Finally, Reflection: Objects in Context explores the ways in which the objects are influenced by the environment—physical, historical, or social—in which they were created.
- Directions: Subway: 1, 2, A, B, C, D to 59th Street - Columbus Circle. The back of the museum borders 58th Street. Enter on Columbus Circle.
