Seders ran her gallery with a low key, unintimidating sales approach, welcoming artists, art enthusiasts, collectors, and students to her space to indulge in the enjoyment of the art. The Francine Seders Gallery represented well-known, established, and developing artists such as Jacob Lawrence, Michael Spafford, Mark Tobey, Barbara Earl Thomas, Marita Dingus, and Alan Lau. Years later, the Francine Seders Gallery is remembered as an industry standard, as many gallerists continue to seek her advice and influence. FRANCINE SEDERS GALLERY 3 Francine Seders Gallery: A Case Study Seattle Arts Ecosystem and the Francine Seders Gallery Seattle sits on a far corner of the country, nestled in between the Olympic and Cascade mountain ranges, with Puget Sound on one side and Lake Washington on the other. The region’s lumber and coal industries grew with the extension of the Northern Pacific Railroad in the 1880s. Fishing, shipping, and manufacturing industries grew throughout the late 1890s and early 1900s. Following the Boeing Company’s introduction of the 707 commercial jet in the 1950s, the city adopted a futuristic vision of innovation (City of Seattle, n.d.). -

Graphicstudio: Uncommon Practice at USF at Tampa Museum of Art
Graphicstudio: Uncommon Practice at USF at Tampa Museum of Art “Graphicstudio: Uncommon Practice at USF” is the most ambitious and comprehensive show to feature works from the workshop since the survey exhibition of the early years of Graphicstudio at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. in 1991. The exhibit features forty-five years of more than 110 original works by an international array of 45 of the 108 artists who have worked in residence at Graphicstudio. On view February 1 through May 18, 2014, this exhibition was co-organized by the Tampa Museum of Art and the USF Contemporary Art Museum and curated by Jade Dellinger. Highlighting both technical and conceptual breakthroughs, the exhibition includes seminal works spanning Graphicstudio’s forty-five year history (by Robert Rauschenberg, Jim Rosenquist, Ed Ruscha, Allan McCollum, Louise Bourgeois, Jim Dine, and others) with some of its most recent collaborative endeavors by (Christian Marclay, Mark Dion, Teresita Fernández, Los Carpinteros, and Trenton Doyle Hancock). According to Margaret Miller, the Director of Institute for Research in Art – Contemporary Art Museum and Graphicstudio, the exhibition is an opportunity for viewers to see a survey of works that represent leading international artists and affirms that printmaking is a primary medium for many contemporary artists. The exhibition chronicles several aesthetic and technical conversations among artists of different generations. Often times, it is the invention of a new technology that transfixes the artists in residence. As former director, Alan Eaker noted, “It has always been the primary concern of Graphicstudio to make art that was phenomenal and along the way develop the technology to accomplish it.” Founded in 1968 as a non-profit, university-based, collaborative art making facility, Graphicstudio remains unique in its commitment to aesthetic and technical research in the visual arts. -

The American Institute of Architects, founded in 1857, is a voluntary not-for-profit member- i ship organization representing more than 54,000 architects and architectural profession- i als in nearly 300 state societies and local chapters stretching from Maine to Guam.

"I cannot, in whole conscience, recommend architecture as a profession for girls. I know some women who have done well at it, but the obstacles are so great that it takes an exceptional girl to make a go of it. If she insisted on becoming an architect, I would try to dissuade her. If then, she was still determined, I would give her my blessing—she could be that exceptional one."

George Howe and Modern Architecture
Travel, Architects, and the Postwar “Grand Tour” By: Denise Costanzo An American architect observed in an essay that “it is a physical impossibility to transport buildings as one does paintings. Therefore, to experience the dome of the Cathedral of Florence by Brunelleschi or the apse and dome of St. Peter’s by Michelangelo, one must be within the space itself.” To assert architecture’s inherent immobility and three-dimensionality is largely uncontroversial, but the next sentence is more contentious: “Architects, in order to explore the problems of contemporary architecture, must necessarily have a specific cultural background which should qualify them for an appreciation of the valid works of the past.”1 Taken together, these axioms require architects to recognize the authority of select historic monuments and to absorb their lessons through direct phenomenal experience. It seems only proper that such statements come from a fellowship application to the American Academy in Rome, established in 1894 to buttress the fin de siècle classical revival known as the “American Renaissance.”2 But this essay dates to 1960, when seeing and venerating history firsthand was not such an obvious requisite for architects. Its author, Michael Graves, is now a household name thanks to his populist high-design products for Target stores (fig. 1). As an architect, he is best known for his historically allusive works of the 1970s onwards. His prominent career has contributed to the reputation of the post-World War II Academy as an ‘incubator’ of postmodern historicism, a category in which he is generally included by critics.3 However, when Graves visited Rome in 1960 he was not a “proto- postmodernist,” but a modernist.
