JANE! An intimate exploration of Gilded Age excess and the enigmatic life and death of Jane Stanford
JANE! An intimate exploration of Gilded Age excess and the enigmatic life and death of Jane Stanford is an art & museums event at Cantor Arts Center in Palo Alto on Thursday, October 29.
About this event
Curated by Associate Curator of European Art, Patrick R. Crowley, JANE! celebrates the aesthetic and affective excesses of Jane Stanford, the Gilded Age founder and matriarch of Stanford University. Bringing together precious keepsakes, souvenirs, archaeological detritus, and spooky messages from beyond the grave, the exhibition reveals the campy underside of a familiar biography and perhaps an even more familiar murder mystery.
