Works from the private collection of Arthur Goldberg feature the human figure as a means to understand the human condition. References to the body can be found in each of the paintings, works on paper, and sculptures in the exhibition. Whether a finely detailed self-portrait or an abstracted reference to an inner psychological state, the bodies in this exhibition channel questions about being, experience, and perception.

Since their first manufacture in the United States in the late 19th century, cars have influenced and transformed the American landscape, economy, and social and political systems. They are both practical machines and iconic symbols of movement, freedom, adventure, and much more. In the collection of Terry and Eva Herndon, American artists of the 20th and 21st centuries highlight how the car has impacted our lived experience, collective and personal histories, and ideas about American identity.

Jennifer Irvine’s approach to collecting is simple: buy what you like and make sense of it later. A friend once told her that she lives among her art, rather than in her home. Jennifer likes bright, bold art. Like many collectors, each of her pieces is a cherished memory. Themes in her collection include travel, music, and graphic art. Jennifer serves on as a Director on the boards of ArtsWorcester and the Worcester Center for Crafts. She is a former Museum Council Fellow at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston. Jennifer is Director of Marketing & Business Development at Bowditch & Dewey LLP.
