The suite of lithographic drawings by Robert Morris presents a series of ideas for ten works of art shaped out of earth\, atmospheric conditions\, and built environments. Created in 1969\, the series marks an important moment when artists began to reimagine what art could be. Morris was a pioneer in conceptual art working at the forefront of Minimalism\, Process art\, and Land art. \nImage: Robert Morris\, “Piles and Pits\,” from the “Earth Projects” series\, 1969\, color lithograph\, 20 13/16 × 27 7/8 inches.

The works in Identitas examine culture & heritage through personal narratives\, reflecting each included artist’s distinctly unique perspective on self and experience. Paradoxically\, the word “identity” comes from the Latin “identitas” meaning “sameness\,” a profound reminder that at our core we are more similar than divergent.
