Unfolding across not one, but two Philly museums — Woodmere y el Academia de Bellas Artes de Pensilvania - Cuerpos y almas explores how artists’ work asserted the complexities of the human experience, tackling gender, sexuality, relationships and more; cultivated compassion; and imagined a better world.

The powerful exhibition showcases over 130 paintings, drawings and sculptures, by artists such as Barbara Bullock and Marta Sanchez, and from Philadelphia art collectors Robert and Frances Coulborn Kohler’s collection.

Se puede saber mucho de una persona por su hogar.

Combinando artefactos históricos fabricados por los Shaker directamente de la Testamento de Ann Lee con obras de arte contemporáneo inspiradas en la comunidad, esta nueva exposición en el Instituto de Arte Contemporáneo explora cómo el grupo desarrolló un lenguaje visual distintivo caracterizado por la simplicidad, la innovación y la funcionalidad.
