From Now: A Collection in Context is an exhibition presented live at The Studio Museum in Harlem, where artworks are read alongside the histories that shaped their collecting and display. Rather than treating objects as isolated masterpieces, it tracks how context changes meaning over time—through ownership, institutional framing, and public encounter. In New York City, where museums help define the art canon, that focus carries cultural weight. One clear implication is that a collection is never neutral; it reflects choices, omissions, and power.
