A Measure of Value: The Trout Gallery

This exhibition considers how art and artifacts intersect with economic principles of markets, both as physical embodiments of currency and as commentary on monetary systems. Many works of art function as media of exchange, units of credit, stores of wealth, and measures of value. From ancient coins to contemporary prints, the diverse selection of objects on display offers visitors an opportunity to consider the dynamic relationship between artistic and economic notions of value.

This exhibition features work by artists Faith Ringgold, Sue Coe, Andy Warhol, and the Guerilla Girls among others, as well as a selection of ancient Roman coin and Tuareg, Jonga, and Akan currency objects.
