Join Lucy Haskell, Manager of Student Engagement, for a conversation exploring two objects inspired by the landscapes of the American West: a monumental painting of Yosemite by Albert Bierstadt and a sprawling coffee table designed by Terence Harold Robsjohn-Gibbings. These objects orient us in space—as we adjust our proximity to them and transition between sitting and standing, stasis and movement—not only depicting the land but structuring how we occupy it.
Gallery Talks is a weekly series led by Gallery staff and guest speakers on Wednesdays at midday. Each session focuses on one to three works from the collection, inviting participants to look closely, share observations, and engage in conversation in the galleries.
Meet by the central column in the Gallery lobby. Space is limited.
