WHAT WAS ONCE FAMILIAR—The Vision & Art Project’s Tenth Anniversary Benefit Exhibition
On view in the East and West Galleries

March 20 - April 26

Since 2013, the Vision and Art Project, an initiative of the American Macular Degeneration Foundation, has been actively supporting artists with macular degeneration and researching macular degeneration’s influence on art. Among others, such notable figures as Georgia O’Keeffe and Edgar Degas are known to have developed the disease and adapted their working methods in ways that allowed them to continue working in their studios. Regardless of how dramatic the effect, artists working with vision loss usually change their approach to artmaking. Often, an entirely new body of work emerges, one that can be hauntingly and thrillingly unlike anything they had created before. The exhibition will include work by Lennart Anderson, Serge Hollerbach, Robert Birmelin and Hedda Sterne, among other outstanding artists who experienced vision loss at some point in their careers and continued to create compelling works of art.

Painting with Paper: Tissue Paper Collages by Gretchen Bainum
On view in the Project Space

March 4 - 28

Born to well known Montana artists Robert and Gennie DeWeese, Gretchen Bainum has lived in rural eastern Kentucky with her husband and family since 1980. After a successful career in art education, Bainum now spends her time wandering the pasture of her farm, caring for horses and cattle and making art. Inspired by the late paper cutouts by Matisse, Bainum likes to think that she carries Matisse’s idea a step further by “painting with paper”. All of her daily farm activities are the subjects of her art.

PRINTS: Old Masters to Moderns

On view in the Grand Gallery

Through April 3

Since the early sixteenth century, the potential of the print medium was being fully explored by artists and had a decisive impact on the history of art and collecting. Prints provided artists with an outlet for experimentation as well as a sense of freedom to explore their own interests. Once considered a standard of affordability among collectors, prints and multiples now have the attraction to rival the value of works on canvas in today’s market. This special exhibition presents an overview of printmaking techniques from Rembrandt to the present day. Included are works by Goya, Tiepolo, Whistler, Picasso, Léger, Oldenburg, Christo, Barnet, Kyle Staver, Elizabeth Peyton and more. Many of these prints are from the Club’s fine collection of works on paper.
