Accompany Jennifer Friess, UMMA's Assistant Curator of Photography, on a tour of Victors for Art: Michigan's Alumni Collectors—Part II: Abstraction, an exhibition that celebrates the rich history of over 2,000 years of abstraction in art. Our conversation will guide us through groupings that reveal diverse strategies of abstraction in modern and contemporary art–– from Pablo Picasso's and Alberto Giacometti's manipulations of the human form to
Lee Krasner's and Louise Nevelson's fragmented references to natural and man-made environments.

Lead support for Victors for Art: Michigan's Alumni Collectors is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Michigan Medicine, the University of Michigan Office of the President, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts, and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office.
