These lower level cases highlight a wide range of works from the collection, including ancient Peruvian objects, neolithic Chinese ceramics, turn-of-the-century European and American ceramics, sculpture, and contemporary ceramics and glass. These collection groupings rotate, and new objects are presented each semester.
Pictured here, from left to right, are sculptures by Lithuanian-born modernist Jacques Lipchitz, generously gifted by the Jacques and Yulia Lipchitz Foundation, and works of contemporary art glass, including works from the extensive contemporary glass art collection of Jon and Judith Liebman that have been donated to the permanent collection at KAM.
Portfolio: Open Storage
KAM is continually searching for ways to make its permanent collection more accessible to the public. The Lower Level cases are a visible storage concept, which are a means to densely display a small selection of works that are normally not on view and with minimal interpretation.
