Marilyn Monroe. Tomato Campbell’s Soup. Andrew Warhola.

What do these three have in common?  They were all re-imagined — and made icons of art history — by Andy Warhol.

This Just In! New Works From the Permanent Collection is our welcome party for works that are new to us — and to our audiences — and features recent loans and recent acquisitions of artists well-known and under-sung, across media, and many on view at The AGB for the first time. 

As explored in this exhibition of ceramic works from the Museum’s permanent collection, some objects on view have survived for millennia and offer us a connection to peoples across time, both those who produced these works and those who used or displayed them. The works also link us to the history of visual culture, wherein artists use imagery — abstract, representational, or otherwise — to entice our eyes or even to tell stories.
