Arp to Reinhardt"; "Broken Home" (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.
