Words are not commonly considered an element of the visual arts, yet many artists incorporate words in their work. This exhibition of two dozen works from the Permanent Collection presents art that includes words, lettering, or numbers as subject, design element, or to convey information. In using text to augment the purely visual elements, these works give new meaning to the cliché ‘a picture is worth a thousand words.’ Featured artists include Berenice Abbott, Mary Bauermeister, Robert Cottingham, Stuart Davis, Don Eddy, Red Grooms, Man Ray, Howardena Pindell, and Michelle Stuart, among others.

Cost:
Adults - $8
Seniors (62 years) - $6
Students (10 and over) - $5
Children (under 10) - Free
Museum Members - Free
