Anonymous Fragments presents a new series of paintings and drawings by Timothy Hull inspired by the Carlos Museum’s collection of ancient Greek vase fragments. Piecing together histories of collecting, antiquities trafficking, and desire for Greek vases with images of same-sex lovers and Dionysian revelry excerpted from the vase fragments themselves, Anonymous Fragments (re)constructs a queer art history, grounded in antiquity, that offers a world in which bodies, identities, and desires are fluid, expansive, and playful. At the same time, examining the controversies of the trade in ancient Greek vases, Hull reminds us that all museum objects—the licit and the illicit—are out of context, and in this sense offer endless opportunities to be re-viewed and re-interpreted, accruing meaning across time and with every act of looking.
