Discover the newest addition to the Museum collection: an assemblage of ceramic birds, beads, metal flowers, and a bull dog from a series called “Rescue” by Chicago-based contemporary artist Nick Cave. Like so many of Cave’s works, Rescue invites several layers of interpretation, often challenging historical associations to heighten a collective awareness of longstanding social injustices. Explore multiple interpretations of the work in this month’s Masterpiece Minute podcast.
