 |  | This is a short week at Harvard, so we'll keep our newsletter short too. But first, residents of Adams House may recognize the shape of this vase as a close contender for their Acorn mascot. Adams House's acorn is a nod to the oak leaves on the family crest of alums John and John Quincy Adams, whose portraits are on view in our second floor galleries.
If you're heading out of town this week for the Thanksgiving holiday, travel safely and we'll see you when you get back! For those of you spending the break on campus, we're open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday so reserve your tickets today! |

From Our Friends...
Harvard ID-holders are invited to watch Heinz Emigholz' THE AIRSTRIP in person tonight at the Harvard Film Archive! Free admission, but RSVP required via Eventive. Limited capacity so reserve now!
The Fine Arts Library and the Department of History of Art and Architecture present a pop-up series of virtual events exploring the art book and its many forms. Join Michelle Komie and Marisa Bass for a conversation about the current landscape of scholarly publishing in art history.
What do we do with the work of immoral artists? Can we separate an artist from their art? Wellesley College professor Erich Hatala Matthes tackles these questions and more in a new book. Our own curators have been shining a light on difficult histories in our new ReFrame initiative. Look for the orange markers on select labels to see their first efforts to reorient the collections toward today's concerns.
“Art Basel is like the Super Bowl of art.” We couldn't agree more! Check out an interview with former NFL linebacker turned contemporary-art collector Keith Rivers. Interested in some of the artists Rivers is collecting? See other works by Rashid Johnson, Glenn Ligon, and Kerry James Marshall on view in our galleries.
