Art Study Center Seminar: Geometry and Meaning in Modern and Contemporary Art

November 13, 2025 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm

Free

Join Madeline Murphy Turner for a conversation on 20th- and 21st-century artworks that expand our understanding of geometric abstraction. Bringing together artists from Europe, North America, and South America, this Art Study Center Seminar explores how geometry can serve as a reference within itself or as a bridge to historical, ancestral, and natural forms.

This seminar is organized in conjunction with Edna Andrade: Imagination Is Never Static. Alongside drawings by Edna Andrade not on view in the exhibition, participants will examine works by Josef Albers, Terran Last Gun, Raúl Lozza, and Odili Donald Odita, among many others.

Led by:
Madeline Murphy Turner, Emily Rauh Pulitzer Curatorial Fellow in Contemporary Drawings, Division of Modern and Contemporary Art
