A Lively Calendar For 2001 The current exhibition — Go Figure! – an invitational exhibit that showcases Lancaster artists’ work influenced by Demuth’s themes in subject or style – opened the museum for 2001 and will continue until March 25th, after which a collection of the Demuth family’s tobacco shop memorabilia will go on exhibition. In mid-March, the Foundation is sponsoring a bus trip to Washington, D. C., for the Alfred Stieglitz exhibition as well as the Phillips Collection. Space limitations require reservations in advance, so interested members should contact the museum soon. In the past, February and early March have always been devoted to a showing of the Foundation’s full holdings of Charles Demuth’s paintings, watercolors, and drawings. This period of time marks the calendar’s lowest-light, during which less damage can be inflicted on fragile works on paper through the sun’s destructive rays. However, now that the museum galleries have been equipped with sturdy shutters to block out all natural light, the Foundation looks forward to its annual Demuth exhibition during May and June, thereby arranging for it to coincide with both the annual meeting and the annual garden tour, when our largest influx of out of town visitors arrives. The speaker at the 2001 annual meeting in May will be long-time Foundation friend and Demuth scholar Betsy Fahlman. Dr Fahlman, currently Professor of Art History at Arizona State University, is the author of Pennsylvania Modern: Charles Demuth of Lancaster, the handsome catalogue for the Philadelphia Museum’s Demuth centennial exhibition that was then shown at the Heritage Center Museum of Lancaster County in 1983. |
