The end of another decade is approach
tog. Soon the traditional retrospectives and
documentaries will come on the scene. We
will be told where we have been and where
we are going. .
Joslyn Art Museum already has begun a
series of flashbacks with an exhibit called
"Recent Acquisitions: The 70s." The
show includes selections from an array of
artwork the museum has collected since
1970.'
Joslyn made several important additions
to its collection of contemporary art
during the decade. Pieces of sculpture by
George Segal and Alexander Calder were
acquired, Segal is known for his plaster
moldings of human bodies and Calder is
famous as a leader in kinetic art .
Other contemporary artists are repre
sented, including works by Louise Nevel
son, Robert Motherwell, Jim Dine and
Kenneth Noland,
Older works from many different
periods are in the show, Indian art from
South America, dating from 500-600 A.D,
Sixteenth century still lifes, 17th century
Oriental art, and 19th century American
art are featured.
During the '70s, JoslyrYs often ignored
collection of Oreitnal art was enhanced by
the acquisition of Kano Morinobu's six
panel screen "Cranes." The exhibit also in
cludes 18th century Japanese and Chinese
porcelain, ,
Navaho blankets and Indian rugs from
19th century America are in the show. A
few portraits from that same era and paint
ed on the eastern coast of the united
States are in the collection. Created by self
trained artists, the portraits are rather
primitive in their style, said Francine
Werthmann, assistant curator-education.
'The show gives a feeling where collect
ing has gone in 10 years," Werthmann said,
"In the 30s, museums wanted to collect
masterpieces, Greek and Renaissance
works. But over the years museums all
across the country, have broadened their
perspective on art. Indian baskets that
people once admired but did hot consider:
artworks are now parts of collections."
The exhibit is also designed to give
credit to all the loans and gifts the museum
has received over the years. "We want to
show how important gifts are to a
museum," said Werthmann.
It is important to note that this exhibit
was to have opened Nov. 3. However, when
this reporter walked into the museum on
Saturday afternoon the galleries that were
to hold the exhibit were closed and dark.
The gallery's public relations director,
Barbara Wright, said that the show's pre
paration turned out to be more work than
the staff anticipated, When first contacted,
Wright was unaware that the exhibit had
not been completed, The opening was post
poned until Tuesday, Nov, 6 and will be
closed Nov. 25,
