Bernd & Hilla Becher
The famous German couple Bernd and Hilla Becher (1931-2007; 1934-2015) changed the course of late 20th-century photography. Working as a rare like-minded and professional couple, they focused on a single subject: the disappearing industrial architecture of Western Europe and North America that fueled the modern time.
Fictions of Emancipation: Carpeaux Recast
Organized around a single object — the marble sculpture (雕塑) Why Born Enslaved! By French sculptor Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux — Fictions of Emancipation: Carpeaux Recast is the first exhibition in the Metropolitan Museum of Art to examine Western sculpture in relation to the histories of Western slavery, colonialism, and empire.
Chroma: Ancient Sculpture in Color
Ancient Greek and Roman sculpture was once colorful, vividly painted and richly decorated. Chroma: Ancient Sculpture in Color tells the colorful backstory of polychromy — meaning "many colors" in Greek — and presents new discoveries of surviving ancient color on artworks in the Metropolitan Museum of Art's world-class collection.
Hear Me Now: The Black Potters of Old Edgefield, South Carolina
