From Andy Warhol's Mao portraits (pictured) to Richard Prince's novel-cover-based Runaway Nurse oil painting, artists often get their best ideas from the world around them. With this in mind, curator Heather Campbell Coyle has assembled a collection of paintings, prints and photographs appropriately titled "Exposed! Revealing Sources in Contemporary Art." Each piece is placed alongside the original image for comparison and critique, but Coyle hopes viewers draw their own conclusions. "I want people who don't usually look at art to find a hook to it," she says. "To really think about the art and make it their own."
