Other galleries reported sales ranging from $2,000 to $55,000, with some dealers selling out their stands.

Georgia Museum of Art reaches for the stars with new exhibition

The Georgia Museum of Art has opened a new exhibition titled "We, Too, Are Made of Wonders," on view from January 24 to June 28, 2026. Inspired by Ada Limón's poem "In Praise of Mystery," the show brings together poetry, astronomy, science, and visual art to explore humanity's fascination with the cosmos. It features historic, modern, and contemporary works from the museum's permanent collection, including pieces by Dorothy Hood, Mildred Thompson, Lamar Dodd, Robert McCall, and others. Poems guide visitors through themes of wonder, science, mythology, and space exploration, with several works on view for the first time.
