A Jewish immigrant, tailor, and slipper manufacturer in Brooklyn who took up painting at the age of 65, Morris Hirshfield (1872–1946) attracted a great degree of attention during his brief career as an artist.

This exhibition features 34 works by Latin American photographers from 10 countries and across a range of photographic traditions.

The work of five photographers featured in the Capital Group Foundation Photography Collection at the Cantor Arts Center—Ansel Adams, John Gutmann, Helen Levitt, Wright Morris, and Edward Weston—comprises the core of the exhibition.

Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, Sam Francis (1923-1994) was one of his generation’s most well-known American artists in Western Europe and Japan.

The artworks in Convergence Zone bring together reflections on the human impact on bodies of water and how the planet responds with a spectrum of natural consequences.

With outdoor locations in front of the Anderson Collection and Bing Concert Hall and along Campus Drive, five bronze sculptures represent five North American birds driven to extinction.

This symposium is organized around a key question: Can technology transform systems of power within culture and its institutions?

Robert Dennis Rentzer, Morris Hirshfield’s grandson and exhibition curator Richard Meyer gathered for an intimate in-person celebration of the extraordinary life of a Brooklyn Jewish immigrant artist who was propelled to fame in the early 1940s by the New York avant-garde, after a forty-year career in the garment industry and slipper-making business.

Artists Reagan Louie and Livien Yin discussed their artistic practices and artworks responding to and building on archives of the Chinese diaspora. Yin’s work was on view in the exhibition East of the Pacific: Making Histories of Asian American Art and Louie’s in At Home/On Stage: Asian American Representation in Photography and Film, which both closed in early 2023.
