In My Presidents and Other Recent Acquisitions, museum curators chose works by seven artists to highlight the latest additions to the collection. These works of art take a look at diverse themes, from Ben Patterson’s astrological analysis of thirteen Presidents of the United States to Jeanne Silverthorne’s very lyrical sculpted fire extinguishers that include a passage from Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein in braille.
