A new exhibition at the Sue and Leon Genet Gallery explores the role that the online marketplace Etsy plays (or will play) in the art world through what is considered ‘fine art.’
“Caveat Emptor: Etsy in the Art World” aims to present the historical prevalence and popularity of mass-produced objects, as well as how online platforms such as Etsy offer a departure from traditional work made for the masses. Curated by Molly Wight ’22, a museum studies graduate student at the College of Visual and Performing Arts’ School of Design, the exhibition is the culmination of independent study and research that showcases several artists including Andy Warhol, Winslow Homer, Japanese woodblock prints and selections from the curator’s personal collection.
A reception will be held April 11 from 5-7 p.m. Public gallery hours are Tuesday through Friday, noon to 5 p.m. or by appointment.
