Art and Music from the Permanent Collection
This exhibition draws on The Baker Museum’s deep connection with music in visual art, whether fashioned through direct representation or metaphor. Selected works from the permanent collection explores the representation of music through an in-depth look at a group of paintings, sculptures, prints and objects by 20th-century artists, and shows a wide range of approaches to the metaphors for love; religious devotion; harmony; the passage of time; death and immortality — all themes of significance in music and the visual arts. September 2018 – January 2019

Daniel Buren
The colors above our heads are under our feet as well
Work in situ, 2018
The colors above our heads are under our feet as well is a site-specific installation by Daniel Buren (b. 1938), one of France’s most influential, original and adored living artists. Well-known internationally for his work, which questions art and its environment, Buren has created a contemporary pergola on which, instead of flowers, panels of vibrantly colored acrylic sheets are arranged alphabetically according to their English names. The effect is a work in progress, where blues; yellows; oranges; reds; and purples create a prism that shifts according to the season and time of day. November 2018 – June 2019
