St. Sebastian is a figure well-established in the visual canon since the early Renaissance as the bound, sensuously semi-nude figure impaled with Roman arrows. This provacative exhibition, anchored by Titian's portrait from c. 1530, explores the evolving interpretation of St. Sebastian from the the 16th century to the present. Infused with life and emotion, Titian's striking portrait is a remarkable show of his virtuosic abilities to work with light and color. In direct view of this masterpiece are contemporary depictions of St. Sebastian furthering the discussion and understanding of this prominent figure. Works on display are by Doug Argue, Carlos Betancourt, Fred Holland Day, Yves de Brabander, Red Grooms, Marcia Grostein, Elisa Jensen, Cynthia Karalla, Ross Bennett Lewis, Cathy McClure, Michael Murphy, Eric Rhein, David Vance, Ventiko, and Christopher Winter.

Ilya Kabakov is recognized as the most important Russian artist to have emerged in the late 20th century. His work speaks as much about conditions in post-Stalinist Russia as they do about the human condition universally. The Study of Kabakov, a survey of works on paper from 1960-1985 by Ilya Kabakov, marked the first time that these foundational works had been exhibited in the United States and provided insight into both the artist's sense of humor, profundity and purpose. Three albums from the 10 Characters series and a comprehensive reference library allowed for an in-depth study of Kabakov's complex conceptual world.
