Indeed, the Italian Renaissance artist Vasari identified the ancient world as the time \u201cwhen sculpture rose to its greatest height.\u201d But close likenesses of the natural world are not the only visual products of the ancient past. This exhibition traces alternative visual trends in the ancient Roman world that today would be considered examples of abstraction. It focuses on monuments and motifs long pushed to the margins of our accounts of ancient art. Oversize arrangements of interlocking shapes pulsate in bold block colors from tombs, temples, and homes; stylized animals flicker into view, only to collapse once more into bright geometric arrangements; and artists adopt experimental shorthands for the depiction of space across media. Anticipating recent interests in color and form, the visual trends of antiquity emerge as far more varied than has long been told.\n\n*Ancient Abstractions is on view from November 5, 2026, through February 28, 2027, during regular museum hours (Tuesday\u2013Friday, 10:00 AM\u20134:00 PM, and Saturday\u2013Sunday, 11:00 AM\u20134:00 PM; closed Mondays and university holidays.*", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"153842-21916445@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/153842", "building_id":"1000178", "building_name":"Kelsey Museum of Archaeology", "campus_maps_id":"186", "room":"", "location_name":"Kelsey Museum of Archaeology", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["archaeology","visual arts","roman empire","Research","museum","Mediterranean","history","Free","Faculty","Exhibition","cultural heritage","collections","Art History","art","Ancient Rome"], "website":"http:\/\/www.lsa.umich.edu\/kelsey\/", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Kelsey Museum of Archaeology", "group_id":"3154", "website":"http:\/\/www.lsa.umich.edu\/kelsey\/" }, { "group_name":"Kelsey Museum of Archaeology Exhibitions", "group_id":"3775", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_153842_original-1.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_153842_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_153842_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_153842_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_153842_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_153842_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_153842_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_153842_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_153842_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_153842_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_153842_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_153842_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_153842_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_153842_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_153842_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_153842_original-1.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":96, "first_occurrence":21916437 } , "154036-21917060": { "datetime_modified":"20261023T112242", "datetime_start":"20261113T100000", "datetime_end":"20261113T140000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-11-13", "date_end":"2026-11-13", "time_start":"10:00:00", "time_end":"14:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Vintage and Costume Jewelry Sale", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Vintage and Costume Jewelry Sale", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Other", "event_type_id":"22", "description":"Join us for a spectacular vintage and costume jewelry sale at the Turner Senior Resource Center!
