“For John and Joyce Price collecting art is a passion; a unique, personal way of entering into a rich and meaningful life experience, as well as a way of being receptive and responsible to life,” said exhibition curator and BAM director emeritus Michael W. Monroe, in a prepared statement. “At a time when the world is fragmented and chaotic, the Prices have sought to share objects that speak of balance, beauty and harmony.”
