Exhibitions

Andrea Modica was born in New York City and lives in Philadelphia, where she works as a photographer and teaches at Drexel University. She is a Guggenheim Fellow, a Fulbright Scholar and the recipient of a Knight Award.

Drawing on her research on Persian gardens and the history of seed trading along the Silk Road, artist Bahar Behbahani worked with Ursinus students to investigate the cross-cultural significances and literary associations of plants.

Objects from the Berman’s permanent collection—objects with unknown makers, titles, and provenance—designated as “ethnographic” are featured alongside examples of the European tradition of hierarchical academic painting: history, portrait, genre, still-life, and landscape.
