Artworks are vessels for processing, recalling, and reflecting on the past. Artists often draw upon materials from their own pasts and grasp at fleeting moments in time in the creation of an object. For the viewer, observation of artwork can draw out personal memories.
“Ruminations on Memory” contends with the act of remembrance and reflection, featuring a rare presentation of all nine prints from Robert Rauschenberg’s “Ruminations” portfolio, Judy Chicago’s “Retrospective in a Box” portfolio, and selections from the Museum’s Collection.
