Tears of Things
We surround ourselves with material things that are invested with memories but can only stand for what we have lost. The melancholy of this rift is a rich source of inspiration for artists.Peter Schwenger deftly weaves together philosophical and psychoanalytical theory with artistic practice.

Concerned in part with the act of collecting, The Tears of Things is itself a collection of exemplary art objects--literary and cultural attempts to control and possess things--including paintings by Georgia O'Keeffe and Rene Magritte; sculpture by Louise Bourgeois and Marcel Duchamp; Joseph Cornell's boxes; Edward Gorey's graphic art; fiction by Virginia Woolf, Georges Perec, and Louise Erdrich; the hallucinatory encyclopedias of Jorge Luis Borges and Luigi
