In the Galleries Transient Effects: The Solar Eclipses and Celestial Landscapes of Howard Russell Butler Through October 8 Recently reviewed by The Washington Post and The New York Times, Transient Effects explores the work of a Princeton alumnus who painted shockingly accurate depictions of solar eclipses at a time—from 1918 through the 1920s—when the brilliant colors of the sun’s corona eluded photography. Works on Paper Study Room Andy Warhol Screenprints Through September 10 Enjoy an intimate look at some of Andy Warhol’s most iconic images in the Works on Paper Study Room. Explore some of his more politically charged themes, such as the electric chair at Sing Sing Prison and the Birmingham race riots, as well as the everyday objects—flowers, soup cans, or airline tickets—that he elevated to the status of portraits, printed in an impersonal manner to create sometimes-unsettling effects.
