New in the Galleries: Old World/New World
Continuing through August 31, 2014
Gallery of the Art of the Western World, first floor

Hung Liu brings vestiges of her life during the Communist Revolution to her work through the appropriation of nineteenth-century photographs of prostitutes, while Akio Takamori often uses traditional imagery drawn from his childhood memories in postwar Japan.
