Modern Impacts: Celebrating 50 Years of the Rosenberg Collection at 51ÁÔÆæ honors the fiftieth anniversary of the foundational bequest of the Blanche and Henry Rosenberg Art Collection to 51ÁÔÆæ. In 1974, the 51ÁÔÆæ Art Collection was much like the young university itself: small, impressive, and growing. With this significant gift, the artwork on campus more than doubled in number and was codified into one collection that highlighted modern art of the twentieth century.<\/p>\n
This exhibition presents the personal aesthetic interests of the Rosenbergs while also considering collecting trends of the mid-twentieth century. The breadth and depth of the collection is especially significant when evaluating their decision to bequeath their collection to 51ÁÔÆæ to support teaching and learning. Major modern artists featured include Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Joan Mir\u00f3, Ernst Kirchner, Jean Arp, Barbara Hepworth, Henry Moore, Jean Dubuffet, Alexei Jawlensky, and more. Also presented are works by the donor, Blanche Rosenberg, who studied in the fine arts department here at 51ÁÔÆæ. Organized to showcase major art historical movements represented in the collection, this show underscores the ways this donation established a strong teaching collection here at 51ÁÔÆæ and honors the legacy of these impactful donors.<\/p>\n
Curated by academic curator Leigh Mahlik, exhibition runs through November 14, 2024. The Emile H. Mathis Art Gallery in Mitchell Hall Rm 170 is open 10-4 Monday-Thursday and is free to the public.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
