Connect the Dots: Highlights from the Lilley Museum Collection
Ongoing
Connect the Dots brings together artwork from across the Lilley Museum of Art’s permanent collection. Interesting pairings and installations around themes of place, people, and materiality compel us to think about the artists who make the work, the conditions and time periods the work was made, and our relationship to both.
Images: (L) Lucy Neider, Untitled (Figure at a Table), oil, no date. (L) Sheila Pinkel, Angel, xeroradiography, 1978-1982. Both, Collection of the John and Geraldine Lilley Museum of Art.
