>Nothing Is So Humble: Prints From Everyday Objects Exhibition Graphics
This focused exhibition, drawn from the Whitney’s collection and on view from November 20, 2020 through April 18, 2021, looked at the creative and irreverent ways that seven artists—Ruth Asawa, Sari Dienes, Pati Hill, Kahlil Robert Irving, Virginia Overton, Julia Phillips, and Zarina—have employed the everyday objects around them to make prints. Nothing Is So Humble takes its title from an evocative proposition by Dienes that recognized aesthetic possibilities in the most mundane of subjects: “Bones, lint, Styrofoam, banana skins, the squishes and squashes found on the street: nothing is so humble that it cannot be made into art.” The accompanied exhibition graphics also remained humble in their simplicity.
