More is More: Multiples
On view until September 15, 2019

A multiple is a three-dimensional art object designed by an artist and produced using industrial or commercial processes in a series of identical editions. Generally, these pieces are more affordable than a unique work of art, but are still desirable as “originals.”
Challenging the notion that a work of art must be singular or unique to have value, this exhibition celebrates multiples as a medium by presenting approximately 25 artist-designed objects that bridge the gap between works of fine art and limited-edition retail items.
