The Rockwell Experience

Immerse yourself in American art. The Rockwell Museum in Corning, NY, explores the evolving story of America through the eyes of artists.

Spotlight Exhibition

Robert Weingarten: Palettes

On view: September 26, 2025 - January 5, 2026

Robert Weingarten’s photographs take us inside the mind of the artist. By photographing extreme close-ups of palettes and work surfaces, Weingarten probes the perception of light and color. The resulting images range from raw materials, drippings on a sink, to artists’ actual palettes and paintings.
