Hilary Pecis in Dine In

Buffalo AKG Art Museum, NY
21 November 2025 – 10 May 2026

Composed entirely of works from the AKG’s collection and organized around three main themes—The Product, The Kitchen, and The Meal—Dine In invites visitors to explore the ways that we experience food and its related activities. For instance, Andy Warhol's depictions of Campbell's soup cans highlight the impact of consumerism and the products many of us seek in grocery stores. In contrast, Jean Fautrier's Fish Heads portrays the kitchen as a space of transformation, emphasizing that the cycle of life is inherent to the food we consume. Finally, works like Richard Artschwager's Table Laid with Good Intentions evoke nostalgia and reflect the complexity of social dynamics. Together, these and other works use powerful imagery to reflect the human condition, reminding us that dining in often encompasses more than just a meal.
