Join us for
a lecture
by Rachel Federman, curator of Helène Aylon: Undercurrent. The objects in this Art@Bainbridge exhibition form the backdrop for a
probing and wide-ranging discussion of Aylon’s artistic production,
which the late artist described as if it were a play in three acts:
Body, Earth, God. Federman will unpack these categories and
illuminate the undercurrent that runs beneath Aylon’s inspiring and
underrecognized fifty-year practice. Introduced by Juliana
Ochs Dweck, chief curator. Reception to follow.

Australia has inspired many artists to reexamine and
navigate the country’s troubled colonial history through questions
about identity, belonging, and its increasingly fragile ecosystems. Under a Southern Star showcases
the work of twelve contemporary Australian artists together with
earlier, iconic photographs related to the nation’s
history.
Continue to explore the exhibition after it closes
with a virtual tour available

On January 5 we’ll say farewell to Art on Hulfish, our
downtown Princeton gallery space that has offered four years of exceptional photo-forward exhibitions
exploring themes significant to 21st-century life. If you’ve enjoyed
a gallery visit, attended a panel discussion, community event, or
performance, or dropped in to make art, we hope you found inspiration
and connection in this space. We look forward to welcoming you
to our new Museum, opening fall 2025.

New to the Store: tumbled marble coasters from Studio
Vertu, featuring elements from an early third-century Roman mosaic in
our collections that depicts a drinking contest between Herakles and
Dionysos. Made exclusively for the Princeton University Art Museum
Store and available for pre-order now,
each of the eight cork-backed coasters features a different design
element from the elaborate mosaic.
The mosaic itself was recently restored and will have
a prominent place in the new Museum, opening in the fall! To learn
more about the piece, visit our
collections page.
