Food is culture. Whether coming from a farm or factory-raised, traveling from kitchen to mouth, what has been eaten can be a means of understanding time, place, and people. “The Art of Food: From the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation” brings together works from some of the most preeminent postwar and contemporary artists who employ food as their subject matter. This exhibition and associated programming will explore the many identities of food in daily life: whether a source of pleasure, a reason for gathering, a mass-produced commodity, or a reflection of social ideologies and divisions.
