Philadelphia Museum of Art presents still life exhibition exploring power and history through January 10

The Philadelphia Museum of Art is hosting an exhibition that examines the aesthetic representation of legal and economic authority. Running through January 10, the show features works spanning from John James Audubon to Andy Warhol. It includes paintings that incorporate geological, biological, and mechanical histories through collage techniques. A separate presentation documents an adventurer's recent travels in the Pacific Northwest. Additionally, the museum is presenting the first U.S. retrospective for a maverick artist associated with the Pictures Generation movement. The exhibition investigates how still life traditions have been used to frame and analyze systems of power.
