RBG Collars: Photographs by Elinor Carucci
RBG Collars: Photographs by Elinor Carucci features two dozen photographs of former US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s collars and necklaces taken by the contemporary photographer Elinor Carucci (Israeli, b. 1971) shortly after Ginsburg’s death in 2020. The installation also includes jewelry from the Museum’s collection, reflecting freely on the expressive possibilities as well as the cultural and religious aspects of adornment.
