Published in conjunction with the Berman Museum’s landmark mid-career survey of Philadelphia-based artist Rebecca Rutstein, Universal Nature is the first monograph dedicated to her work. Featuring more new and recent paintings, sculpture, video, and textile-based work, the publication explores Rutstein’s ongoing engagement with scientific research and the hidden networks that connect life across the planet.
