Highlights from the UW-W Permanent Artwork Collection Exhibit

Description

Roberta's Art Gallery Presents: Throughout the years, our campus has received many outstanding works of art through donations and purchases. This collection now numbers over 1000 individual pieces and includes paintings, drawings, prints, ceramics, and sculpture. The majority of the collection is from the 20th and 21st century, but several pieces date back a bit further in time. Significant areas in the collection include prints by Leon Pescheret that will be featured in a solo exhibit in the Crossman Gallery in conjunction with the Sesquicentennial Celebration. Other major collecting areas include works from Germany created between the two World Wars, contemporary prints, folk and outsider work, and prints and photographs by Andy Warhol. This exhibit will highlight a small group of pieces selected with the assistance of the Roberta’s Art Gallery staff that represent the much larger campus collection. Reception: Thursday April 19, 4:30-6 *The reception is free to all and open to the public
