Ever Becoming: Our Stories, Our America
This year, the United States commemorates the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. While this milestone marks a pivotal moment in 1776, it also invites reflection on how the nation has been continuously shaped, challenged, and reimagined over time. The Museum’s collection—spanning the 19th century to the present—offers insight into this ongoing process, expressing diverse aspects of the American experience in all its complexity.
Throughout the year, we are marking this momentous occasion with special exhibitions and displays of artworks and historical objects throughout the Museum. The first presentation highlights the work of folk artists, self-trained painters, and craftspeople who express popular-culture interests and traditions, starting with a quilt made by three Yonkers women to honor the US Bicentennial and the origins and growth of the city of Yonkers. Nearby, a group of maritime paintings by James Bard underscores the vital role of ships in the development of a modern, mobile nation. Downstairs in Everything Has a Story: Reflections on the Collection, a folk-art table embellished with a forty-star American flag commemorates the centennial of George Washington’s inauguration in New York City.

Warner Library Presents: The Met's Forgotten Collection: A History of Artists, Plaster Casts & The Metropolitan Museum of Art
Date/Time: April 27, 7 PM Location: Zoom
When The Met first opened its doors in the last decades of the 19th Century, visitors encountered a very different type of collection than what is on view now. Plaster casts, highly precise copies of sculptural art and architecture, filled its galleries and central halls, offering viewers a curated narrative of the important highlights of art and architectural history. The Met’s collection comprised thousands of objects, however virtually none remain on view at the museum today.
What happened to these works of art? Why fill a gallery with copies in the first place? What was the purpose of this replicative art form? Join Mollie Wohlforth, Senior Gallery Manager at the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art for this talk as she discusses the life of these objects and their lasting effects in art history.
