The exhibition The Fascination of Sugar explores the allure, rituals, political controversies, and comforts of sweets in artworks of various historical moments. From a cozy bowl of warm milk to intoxicating coca wine to a seductively offered pear, sweet things appeal in a variety of ways, reflected in the artworks on view. The exhibition presents works from the Davison Art Collection by Claes Oldenburg, Pablo Bronstein, Julia Jacquette, James Gillray, and Winslow Homer, among others.
Gallery hours: Tuesday through Saturday from 12:30pm to 4:30pm.
