The exhibition catalog, In Our Time: Selections from the Singer Collection, includes a selection of paintings and works on paper collected by Iris and Adam Singer over the span of 16 years. Anchored by the work of 27 contemporary artists living and working in cities such as London, Beijing, New York, New Haven, Los Angeles, Accra, and Nairobi, In Our Time speaks to the immediacy of this moment on a global scale, as well as the key ideas, narratives, and concerns that artists have been exploring over the past 25 years. This selection of 40 paintings and works on paper includes a range of styles and approaches, careers from emerging to established, and themes both personal and ubiquitous.
