  The Artist’s Eye is an ongoing series of exhibitions that the Academy began in 1992, inviting a National Academician to curate an exhibition around a theme of their choosing from the Academy’s incomparable collection. This exhibition brings together architect Stan Allen and visual artist Polly Apfelbaum in a collaborative curatorial project that builds on decades of dialogue and creative exchange between them as a married couple. Allen and Apfelbaum were selected by the Academy’s Exhibition Committee (comprising National Academicians, Board members and curators) for their distinct yet deeply complementary ways of thinking and making; his grounded in spatial politics and architectural design, hers in material experimentation and vibrant abstraction.
