Spotlight Tour: Beauty of Emptiness, with Andy Kim ‘25

On this tour, Andy Kim ‘25 will explore negative space, studies, and “unfinished” works through the lens of an aesthetic idea that has deep roots in Korea: the beauty of emptiness. The works on the tour will be a mosaic pavement fragment with a peahen (Syrian, 5th–6th century), John Singer Sargent’s Study for Seated Figures for “El Jaleo” (c. 1882), and Paul Cézanne’s Study of Trees (c. 1904).

Spotlight Tours offer a chance to explore the collections of the Harvard Art Museums through the eyes of a Harvard student. Free and open to the public, these tours start outside the museum shop on Saturdays and Sundays at 11am and 2pm. Drop in and join the conversation! And find out what the Student Guides are up to anytime on Instagram @harvardarthappens.

Please check in with museum staff at the Visitor Services desk in the Calderwood Courtyard to request to join the tour. Tours are limited to 18 people and are available on a first-come, first-served basis; no registration is required.
