Join us for conversation and close looking in Conversations: Kerry James Marshall and John Singleton Copley. We’ll explore the thought-provoking dialogue between Copley’s 18th-century painting, Watson and the Shark, and Marshall’s two 20th-century works, Great America and Voyager. 

Conversations: Kerry James Marshall and John Singleton Copley is our second Conversations installation connecting works from our past and present to reveal how artists help us understand our place in history.
