It’s America’s favorite pastime. It’s every boys’ favorite game. It’s one of the commonplaces of America. Which all make it one of the richest subjects in art. This exhibition features a collection of paintings, sculptures, prints, and memorabilia that trace the history of baseball. Kind of like Cooperstown comes to Philadelphia, this exhibition is a special tribute to the sport and all that it has inspired in all of us. Artists represented include Ben Shahn, Claes Oldenburg, John Martin, William Merrit Chase, and Robert Rauschenberg.
