The Tampa Museum of Art will open the first in an exciting slate of exhibitions for Fall 2018 focused on the theme of love. Sponsored by the Vinik Family Foundation, the Season of Love begins August 16 with the unveiling of Patricia Cronin’s commissioned sculpture Aphrodite Reimagined, part of her solo exhibition Patricia Cronin, Aphrodite, and the Lure of Antiquity: Conversations with the Collection. The new sculpture is a contemporary look at the Greek goddess of love and beauty inspired by an ancient marble torso from the Museum’s renowned antiquities collection. This exhibition is the first in a new biennial exhibition series entitled Conversations with the Collection, which explores synergy between classical antiquities and modern and contemporary art. Following Conversations with the Collection’s 2018 launch, Museum curators will invite a contemporary artist or artists every two years to engage with the Museu
