When artists speak about their own work they often give unique insight into their creative process.
In Their Own Words is an installation of works from GRAM’s Permanent Collection including photographs, prints, and drawings, created by artists in Europe, Mexico, and the United States. Individual works or multiple works by a single artist are accompanied by quotes or statements by that artist.
