Remember That You Will Die: Death Across Cultures
Filed under Art History, Exhibits
“The Rubin Museum of Art finds fascinating parallels and significant differences in the depiction of death over the centuries in “Remember That You Will Die,” an exhibition focusing on works of art from Medieval and Early Renaissance Europe and Tibet.
“Serving as memento mori (death remembrances), the 84 works of art and artifacts on view range from a 12th-century be-jeweled bronze reliquary arm from Belgium to a wooden club carved into the shape of a skeleton from Tibet. The one contemporary work, a video by the American artist Bill Viola entitled The Three Women, is being exhibited in New York for the first time.”
