"Snowdon"
Through September 2

In 1960 Anthony Armstrong-Jones married England's Princess Margaret and became the Earl of Snowdon. Before, during, and after his marriage, however, he was also known as one of his country's leading photographers. The first full retrospective exhibition of Snowdon's photography, mounted initially at London's National Portrait Gallery, covers the entire range of his work from the 1950s through the 1990s. Included in the exhibition are some of Snowdon's photojournalistic endeavors, which document locations abroad as well as the treatment of the mentally ill in England.

"Art for Yale: Defining Moments"
Through August 19

Significant artworks from each of the Gallery's curatorial departments come together to trace the growth of the Art Gallery's collections from the time of its founding in 1832 to the end of the 20th century. The main focus is on those objects that either were the first of their kind to be acquired, were single masterpieces, or were groundbreaking collections that significantly changed the Gallery's collections.

"The Colossal Keepsake Corporation and Claes Oldenburg's Lipstick"
Through August 19

The installation of the sculpture Lipstick (Ascending) On Caterpillar Tracks by Claes Oldenburg '50 in Beinecke Plaza in 1969 marked a "defining moment" for art at Yale. Lipstick was commissioned by the Colossal Keepsake Corporation of Connecticut, a group made up of students and faculty, and during the sculpture's first year on campus, it was vandalized. Oldenburg had it removed, but he returned it to campus five years later, this time in Morse College. For the Defining Moments exhibition, Lipstick rests in the Art Gallery's sculpture garden and is accompanied by a number of sketches and models related to its creation.
