Patrick R. Crowley, Associate Curator of European Art at Cantor Arts Center leads us on this special tour of Handle with Care. This exhibition is a collections-based presentation focusing on a typically overlooked part of many objects such as vessels, cutlery, weapons, hand mirrors, and so on: the handle. The exhibition shuttles between the universal and the particular, cutting across traditional divisions of geography, chronology, and object classifications, engaging a broad swath of Cantor's historical collection in new, imaginative ways. RSVP here.
