RECURRENCE WALTERS ART MUSEUM

ak/gs set 8/6 #708333

BALTIMORE, MD. — In the third-floor manuscript gallery, curators from the Walters’ Egyptian, Asian and ancient Greek collections will draw together approximately 30 works that reveal aspects of image repetition and reuse in each of the cultures they study. “Recurrence,” on view September 19 to January 20, will complement the “Déjà Vu” exhibition, allowing visitors to explore the ways in which artists from vastly different places and periods returned time and again to the same trusted images.

Visitors will also discover, through the study of images such as the Mother and Child, how distant cultures, for their own distinct reasons, created images that appear strikingly similar. Armed with the knowledge gained from these observations, visitors will be encouraged to seek out other examples of repetition in the museum’s permanent collections.

The Walters is at 600 North Charles Street, on the corner of North Street. While general admission is free, “Déjà vu?” is a ticketed exhibition. For information, 410-547-9000 or www.thewaltersorg.
