About the Exhibition
The first time Lichtenstein’s Crying Girl was put up for sale, it sold for $10. In 2015 it sold again, this time for $95 million. What makes a work of art worth more than another? Why are some works famous, and some unknown? The Art Seen’s first exhibition, UN/SEEN, works to complicate the viewer's understanding of these questions. The exhibition juxtaposes two works of art at a time: one world renowned and one student made. Despite their differences in visibility, the works placed together often deal with some of the same images and the same themes. With time, and with your help, we can move this largely unseen student art solidly into the “seen” category. This could be your chance to get the next masterpiece.
If a student work catches your eye, click on it to learn more about it and the artist who made it. All works are for sale unless indicated otherwise.
Thanks so much to the artists, friends, and Williams community members who helped make this happen. I hope you enjoy.
