DESCRIPTION:We invite you to join the Des Moines Art Center in welcoming artist Alison Saar as the featured speaker of our annual Fingerman Lecture series. Saar’s work examines the place of the female body in the realms of politics and spirituality.

Her art is represented in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art\, the Baltimore Art Museum\, the Museum of Modern Art\, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Her 1997 piece\, “Sweeping Beauty” was added to the Des Moines Art Center’s permanent collection in 2003. \nREGISTER \nThe Fingerman Lecture series is made possible through generous gifts by Lois and the late Dr. Louis Fingerman. Alison Saar is the 36th installment in the series. \nFree; registration required.\nPhoto: Alison Saar
