In approximately twelve works of art from the Museum’s collections—including the paintings
Eiffel Tower by Robert Delaunay and High-Speed Gardening by Michael Bevilaqua, the sculptures
Mercury’s Gift to the Mirror by Michelangelo, Pistoletto and Three Men Walking by Alberto Giacometti, and a 16th-century Benin wooden plaque from Nigeria and an ancient clay vessel from Peru’s Moche civilization—Encountering Space explores the different ways space affects us, both physically and emotionally, and the impact of these reactions on our total experience with a work of art. |
