Beyond Truth: Photography after the Shutter
OPEN NOW
“The manipulation of photographs with the intent to deceive raises ethical and philosophical concerns, but that is not an issue with the works in “Beyond Truth”; mostly their intent is simply to delight.” — William Meyers, Wall Street Journal review

Color and Comfort: Swedish Modern Design
OPEN NOW
This exhibition explores the introduction of bold, colorful patterning during the 1920s, the national nostalgia for Swedish cultural heritage during the 1930s, and the sparse lines of abstraction in the 1950s and ’60s which come together to reveal a particularly Swedish sensibility in modern design — one that has often been used to define a broader modern Scandinavian style.
