HoMA Select
If you had to pick the very best work of art in the collection, what would it be? It鈥檚 a nearly impossible task with so many worthy choices. How about the 10 best? Top 40? One hundred?
For nearly two years, the museum鈥檚 curators embarked on this very mission to identify the best the Honolulu Museum of Art had to offer and arrived at 134 exceptional works鈥攆rom a clock to a video installation鈥攆or the institution鈥檚 new Collection Highlights catalog.
HoMA SELECT distills the list to 22 collection gems, presented in a new light in the Spalding House galleries. Seen in open, airy spaces, these works鈥� merits are magnified in an unrestricted viewing experience. The exhibition steers clear of traditional art historical paradigms as works are paired in unexpected ways, regardless of time period, genre, or geographical origin, provoking thought and discussion.
What makes these works so special? Is it their rarity and value? Do they represent a pinnacle of technical achievement or a conceptual breakthrough that expand the definitions of art? Find your own answers at the exhibition.
