Kentucky Library and Museum’s Print Collection – Now showing in the FAC Corridor Gallery (second floor) is one of the best print collections I’ve seen in a while. Some of the artists includeLouise Nevelson, Frank Stella, Paul Cadmus, Jim Dine, Wayne Kimball and Nathan Oliveira. This show is giving Ceramics Invitational a run for it’s money in terms of balls-to-the-wall amazingness.
And while you’re here be sure to wander up to the Cube gallery on the fourth floor to see what’s going on there.
Above is “Five Paint Brushes,” an etching from 1973 by James Dine. It is one of the pieces in the show, all of which are on loan from the permanent collection of the Kentucky Library and Museum. The majority of the work on view were originally collected in the early seventies through an NEA grant. They were collected by Ivan Schieferdecker, Professor Emeritus and have not been displayed since sometime during the 1980′s.
The show will be on view through finals week which I believe is Friday, May 11th. The prints are screenprints, lithographs, etchings and others.
2007 Graduating Senior Art Exhibit – Also, the Senior show is now up in the Kentucky Museum and will also be on view until May 11th. I haven’t had a chance to get any photographs (or even see the show yet) but I hear it’s quite a collection of work, taking up the whole place.
Above are works by 2007 graduating seniors Sara Truman (left) and Perry Hooks (right). Go check it out.
