Join SAAM’s research fellows for this lunchtime series of gallery talks as they share new discoveries about artworks on view. Learn the stories behind these objects and how each one tells us about an ever-changing culture in the United States. Phillippa Pitts, the Wyeth Foundation Predoctoral Fellow, discusses Albert Bierstadt’s Among the Sierra Nevada, California.
