Two installations accompany a popular course taught by Professor Henri Zerner and members of the Department of History of Art and Architecture. The first exhibition focuses on painting techniques and picto-rial space; the second addresses sculpture and artistic process. Comprised of objects selected from the Fogg and the Busch- Reisinger museums, each installation brings together unusual groupings of objects as well as works that are seldom on display.

Coordinated by Laura Muir, assistant curator of the Busch-Reisinger Museum.
