A Coen-esque View of the Walker Collection

Ethan and Joel Coen’s Barton Fink, which has been described as both chilling and humorous, is perhaps the most enigmatic of the brothers’ films. Before seeing it, take a closer look at works in the Walker’s collection that are also not quite what they seem. A skilled guide leads participants through an exploration of artworks that beg multiple viewings by artists with a bent for black humor— such as Paul Thek’s Hippopotamus, Richard Prince’s Was That a Girl, and Robert Gober’s untitled sculpture of a child-size chair with tissue box. Tours are limited to 25 people, so register early.
