Fragile Freedoms: Maggie Meiners Revisits Rockwell On View As timely and thought provoking as it gets. This exhibition reimagines the iconic work of Norman Rockwell through the lens of modern America. With stunningly vivid detail, Maggie Meiners’s carefully constructed photographs turn nostalgia on its head and rework Rockwell’s familiar imagery to address contemporary issues including racism, sexuality, gender roles, and the impact of technology.      Reserve Tickets   Cara Romero (b. 1977). Southwest, Chemehuevi, Water Memory, 2015. Archival Pigment Print on Canson Platine Fiber Rag. Ed. 5/10. Museum purchase; Acquisition Fund. 2019.11   New York to New Mexico: New Acquisitions On View MAM's collection is growing!
