Artist Conversation: Me White Gold

What do porcelain and cocaine have in common? In artist David Torres’s work, they share a name and spark a conversation through the artist’s blending of 18th-century Rococo aesthetics and the flashy visual style of 1980s–90s Colombian drug cartels. Join Torres and Vanessa Sigalas, David W. Dangremond Chief Curator, for a conversation about the artist’s process and his sculpture Me White Gold (2023), recently acquired by the Wadsworth. Meet outside the Museum Shop.

Free with museum admission. Registration encouraged.

Presented with support from the Joseph and Robert Cornell Memorial Foundation Fund at the Wadsworth Atheneum.
