Join Dr. Carol Salus for a walk through the Modern Collection of the Jewish Museum. Founded in 1904, the Museum was the first of its kind in the US and one of the oldest Jewish museums in the world. We will focus on key works of art and media reflecting the Jewish experience in the 20th and 21st centuries.  The Steerage by Alfred Stieglitz, a scene of Jewish immigration, will be discussed for its importance in the history of photography.   We will also view appropriations of Warhol’s Gold Marilyn and Liz by Deborah Kass’s Jewish Jackie Series which features Barbra Streisand.  Lastly, we will see photographs by the Israeli, Elinor Carruci, and her tributes to the great Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
