March News And Events At The Philadelphia Museum Of Art

Last Chance Patricia Urquiola: Between Craft and Industry Through March 18 Internationally acclaimed designer Patricia Urquiola creates cool, seductive objects for the home and office. Perhaps more than any other designer working today, she has successfully fused the artisanal and the industrial. In this exhibition, explore a selection of her designs as well as her creative process. On View Keith Smith at Home Through July 8 Friendship, love, desire: Keith Smith’s life is an open book. In this exhibition, explore an array of Smith’s mixed-media photographs and prints, and—his specialty—handmade artist’s books, most from his own collection. Up Next Jean Shin: Collections Opens March 24 Contemporary artist Jean Shin transforms everyday objects—worn-out shoes, fashion remnants, military uniforms—to create dynamic works about connection and belonging. Her installations raise provocative questions about what, and how, we consume. Coming Soon Modern Times: American Art 1910–1950 Opens April 18 The early twentieth century was a time of great social, artistic, and technological change. Artists responded with a revolutionary language of shapes and colors, challenged convention, and forged bold new styles to fit the times. See all current exhibitions.
