Ranging widely within time periods, geographies, and artists’ careers, the exhibition highlights major works in the Haggerty’s collection, organized into six curated galleries each semester. These distinct but conceptually linked spaces reflect the museum's enduring commitment to the work of modern and contemporary artists, while also featuring a select group of Renaissance and Baroque artworks. The exhibition draws particular attention to the ideas and impulses that have fueled artists through the recent century, including novel approaches to modern materials + processes, political satire, kinetic and op art, migration, photography's relationship to truth, mail art, and the challenge of representing life after war.
