Thursday, January 24 (Continues through April 13) Rose Art Museum "Empires and Environments" features works from the Rose collection alongside new work from emerging artists in an exhibition that addresses how the will to power conditions psychic, physical and material environments. "Arp to Reinhardt" features works by Ellsworth Kelly, Leon Polk Smith, Josef Albers and Brice Marden, among other important artists of the 1950s and 1960s. "Broken Home: 1997/2007" re-creates a 1997 “guest-curated” show — one of the first in a commercial gallery, a practice now ubiquitous in the art world. Opening celebration is Jan. 23 at 6 p.m.
