Our curatorial team is hard at work installing "Lewis Cohen: Forms of Inquiry."

This exhibition celebrates the life and career of Lewis Cohen, an artist, educator and gifted sculptor whose practice spanned more than six decades. Through sculpture, drawing and printmaking, Cohen pursued a lifelong process of experimentation and discovery, continually revisiting enduring themes. Across all media, he returned to questions of human experience, form and expression.

"Lewis Cohen: Forms of Inquiry" opens tomorrow, August 28! Plan your visit at Muscarelle.wm.edu.
