a tour led by the Curator of Education
Fairfield University Art Museum
Bellarmine Hall Galleries
Monday, March 6 - 10:30 am
As a sequel to Carey Weber’s February 23rd presentation at Y’s Men, we’ll be visiting the museum for a tour with Carey and her colleague, the Curator of Education, Michelle DiMarzo
The tour will feature the current and permanent exhibits
in the Bellarmine Hall Galleries
The Museum’s permanent collection on view features European paintings — including a core group of 10 Renaissance and Baroque paintings from the Samuel H. Kress Collection — drawings, prints, photographs, and historic plaster casts as well as artwork from Asia, Africa, and the Americas in galleries totaling 2,700 square feet of space.
The current special exhibition is Norma Minkowitz: Body to Soul.
This solo exhibition surveys the artist’s four-decade engagement with the physical and symbolic properties of thread. Minkowitz lives and works in Westport, and her work is represented in private and public collections across the US and internationally. She is unique among fiber artists for creating hard sculptures from soft materials, and for using thread to invoke universal themes of mortality, memory, and nature.
CollegeRank.net ranks the Museum the 37th Most Amazing College Museum in the U.S. noting that "with an incredibly rich and broad collection of paintings, sculpture, and plaster casts, the …Museum…is a must-see for art enthusiasts."
