Domesticated cows are a pillar of human civilization. People’s attitudes towards cows vary widely, ranging from affection to fear, to viewing them as products, as pets, or even as holy entities. Cows are also often political, especially in the U.S., caught in the cross fire of such issues as climate change, animal welfare, and the rural-urban divide. Depictions of this mysterious beast help us explore our relationships with animals, the land, and each other. Join us to view some of The Henry’s prize cattle!
Re/frame is a recurring program that delves into the Henry's extensive collection, highlighting a different group of objects each month. Join us for group discussions and the opportunity to see art rarely on public view.
