Taubman Museum of Art 75th Anniversary Frame 2025
This trame was commissioned by the to celebrate the Museum’s 75th Anniversary. Lam transformed a vintage frame with her signature handwoven metal lace, wrapping the intricate pattern around the front and back, even in areas visitors cannot see. This careful attention to detail reflects her commitment to craftsmanship.
The frame features more than 30 symbols representing key moments in the Museum’s history, beloved works of art in the Museum’s Permanent Collection, and meaningtul connections to the community. These ideas grew through collaborative brainstorming sessions with Museum staff, volunteers, and members of the Board of Trustees.
Each corner of the frame represents a different season.
Shifts in color, created with Swarovski crystals and semi-precious stones, mark the changing seasons and symbolize the passage of time and the Museum’s lasting presence in the community.
