The Arts

Just as international trade networks influenced the work of European and early American artists, many of today’s international artists draw on ideas that move across global boundaries. Join Emily Zilber, Ronald C. and Anita L. Wornick Curator of Contemporary Decorative Arts; John Hawley, curatorial research fellow, European Paintings; and Mariana Garcia-Bulle, research assistant, Art of the Americas, for talks highlighting the impact of globalism in “Crafted: Objects in Flux,” “Made in the Americas: The New World Discovers Asia,” and “Class Distinctions: Dutch Painting in the Age of Rembrandt and Vermeer.”
