Red Horse: Drawings of the Battle of the Little Bighorn
Opens January 16                 
This exhibition presents 12 ledger drawings by Red Horse, a Minneconjou Lakota Sioux warrior who fought against Custer and the 7th Cavalry at the Battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876. The exhibition brings together key collaborators from Stanford and its communities to explore these indigenous-centered illustrations from diverse perspectives. 

ACCOMPANYING EXHIBITION
Contemporary Perspectives on the Battle of the Little Bighorn
On view February 24-June 13
This student-curated exhibition explores contemporary indigenous perspectives related to the famous battle. The 2015 course that culminated in this show was organized by Sarah Sadlier (Minneconjou), '16, and Isabella Shey Robbins (Din�), '17, and faculty-sponsored by Karen Biestman (Cherokee). 


Wanting More: Picturing the Rise of Consumer Culture
Through April 4
The artists represented in this exhibition used their cameras to scrutinize the expansion of consumer culture in the 20th century. Some inspected the products of mass manufacture intensely, others took a close look at the advertising systems invented to move goods quickly from factory to home. Together, these works highlight the influx of prefabricated objects and marketing campaigns over the last century and point to their underpinning promise (so often unfulfilled) of a prosperous life. 

Word as Image: Highlights from the Marmor Collection 
Through April 4
Words have figured in various guises throughout the history of art, frequently appearing in liturgical contexts including illuminated manuscripts in the Middle Ages or decoratively ornamented Qu'ranic writings from the Ottoman Empire. During the 20th century, artists have used texts and lettering to reference a newly prevalent culture of mass production, to blur the lines between popular culture and fine art, and to upend seemingly simple meanings.
CONTINUING ON VIEW
Missing Persons
Through March 21
The diverse works in this exhibition, including photographs, prints, artist books, and historical ephemera, dramatize the loss of those made missing by time, death, disaster, politics, or artistic composition. A silhouette portrait by Raphaelle Peale records the trace of a person's profile by capturing a momentary shadow. Self-portraits by Lee Friedlander and Laura Volkerding play with shadow and absence, suggesting the presence of a person who is not directly on view. 

Richard Diebenkorn: The Sketchbooks Revealed 
Extended through August 22
This exhibition presents the sketchbooks of celebrated 20th-century painter Richard Diebenkorn--Stanford's most accomplished and recognized graduate in art. On display for the first time, the 29 books span 50 years of the artist's career and contain 1,045 drawings. The extraordinary sketchbooks were gifted to the Cantor by Phyllis Diebenkorn, the artist's widow. Accompanying publication available. 



Edward Hopper: New York Corner
Extended through August 22
The exhibition showcases the painting New York Corner and contextualizes it by grouping works from the museum's collection into art-object-based "conversations." These constellations point to the kinds of artistic practice that preceded the painting's creation; showcase concurrent work by Hopper's contemporaries; and present the kinds of practice that followed.
LAST CHANCE
Artists at Work
Through January 18           
This exhibition of more than 70 works honors our newest neighbor, the McMurtry Building for the Department of Art & Art History, where art is both made and studied. The show explores how artists become inspired, how artists make objects, and how place impacts their work. Learn about tours



Empathy
Through January 25
"Empathy" entered the English language via aesthetics and psychology in the late 19th century. Today, empathy is discussed not only in the arts and humanities, but also in Silicon Valley, Stanford's d.school, and the latest neuroscience. This exhibition traces the meaning and practice of empathy through artistic representation.
