20 Notes

Benches & Binoculars A reminder that all art was at one time contemporary, this exhibition is inspired both by the Walker’s history and the serendipity with which works come together in its storage vaults. More than 75 masterpieces, new discoveries, and notable oddities from the Walker collection crowd the gallery walls, with seating and binoculars provided so that visitors can conduct their own close-up investigations of individual works. I freaking love the Walker Art Center.
