This Fall the Whitney Museum of American Art will exhibit the collection of 30 paintings and drawings realised by Jennifer Packer, within her largest exhibition entitled “Jennifer Packer: The Eye Is Not Satisfied With Seeing”.

“Representation and particularly, observation from life, are ways of bearing witness and sharing testimony”.
