Curatorial Text:
This exhibition celebrates the acquisition of Superwoman for the Samek Art Museum collection with the generous support of Bucknell alumni Brooke Molinaroli ’90 and Lindsay Danckwerth ’02.
Here, Superwoman is joined with two other works from the Samek Art Museum collection, spanning different centuries and continents, that employ religious imagery to echo themes of birth and renewal.
