The Kohler Foundation has given the Art Center a major artwork by Beth Lipman, entitled Overcome (2016). Often inspired by historic, still-life painting, Lipman's art comments on mortality, vitality, time, and the environmental issues, and has helped pave the way for introducing craft practice into the contemporary art realm. This work combines a small table with cast glass, broken glass cast offs from the crafting process, and commercially made glass found objects, all of which brings its own history to the work. This is the first work by Lipman to enter the collections.
