Home as Stage

Catalog to accompany the Wharton Esherick Museum's 2022 exhibition “Home as Stage,” the final exhibition in a series of three installations exploring ideas of “home” in celebrations of the museum’s 50th anniversary.

Featuring the work of four Philadelphia-based contemporary artists – Emily Carris-Duncan, Kay Healy, Colin Pezzano, and Stacey Lee Webber – complemented by a selection of textile objects on loan to WEM from The Fabric Workshop and Museum, Home as Stage asked visitors to consider Esherick’s home and Studio not only as the set on which the artist’s ambitions played out, but also as a stage that hosted players – often other artists – whose conversation, collaboration, and connection made Esherick’s life that much richer and more profound.
