Looking at, Talking about, and Appreciating Art
Could I find a Picasso painting at Goodwill? A recent TikTok had many believing someone did, and it's definitely within the realm of possibility. Lost artworks exist, and we explore their story in this #IntheNews.

If you've visited #fwmoa lately, you've definitely seen some of our wonderous glass sculptures. Inspired by our glass collection, today in the Studio we're playing with ice and light to see why artists choose this medium specifically.
Staff at #fwmoa are playing favorites! A curator who works primarily with the permanent collection, Lauren Wolfer has many favorites (we won't tell the other works!). Her current pick? A new glass work by artists Tim Tate & Michael Janis.
In this #treasuresfromthevault, we explore the lacy tangle of short lines and angles that create shape and pattern in this drawing by Beatrice Riese.
