Crystals in Art: Ancient to Today is now on view at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art though January 6, 2020. I am incredibly honored and excited to have five artworks included in this exhibition that explores the complex and varied connections between crystal and art throughout the world, spanning history and geography. Crystals in Art, curated by Lauren Haynes with guest curator Joachim Pissarro, features objects from a 5,000-year period that span the world from ancient Egyptian figurines into modern times. Other artists in the exhibition include Ai WeiWei, Olafur Eliasson, Marina Abramović, Andy Warhol, Pablo Picasso, Marilyn Minter, Albrecht Dürer, Judy Chicago, Peter Alexander, Gisela Colon, Miya Ando, and more. I look forward to returning to Crystal Bridges next month for an artist talk (Nov 9) and workshop (Nov 10).
