  • Introduction
    The Art of Collecting sweet Briar College March 19-May 31, 2015 Grace Hartigan (1922-2008), Pastorale, 1953, silkscreen on paper, 7 ¾ x 10 13/16 inches. Sweet Briar College Art Fund purchase; ACG.1969.001. Introduction The Art of Collecting: The 20th Century was guest-curated by Lindsay Profenno ’15, an art history major, as an Arts Management Program practicum under my guidance. The installation’s two focal points are images of women and abstraction. Ms. Profenno contributed to this checklist as well. All works were chosen from the permanent art collection of Sweet Briar College—a collection built over the past 75 years by dedicated alumnae, artists and their heirs, professors and staff as a teaching tool for the students and faculty of Sweet Briar and for the enjoyment and education of the College’s neighbors and friends across the region. No exhibition comes to fruition without the work of many people who support the curator and turn her concept into reality. The art gallery’s work-study assistants Mariah Miller ’16, Samantha Cochran ’16, and Abigail Schutte ’17 have been key to the success of the exhibition. Registrar and collection manager Nancy McDearmon oversaw all preparations and final installation with her usual efficiency and good humor. Exhibitions such as this also benefit from the efforts of our colleagues in the Physical Plant department, who make the gallery look its best and help us keep things running smoothly. Karol A.

    Ida Kohlmeyer Systems of Color Essay by MICHAEL PLANTE Foreword by ERIK H. NEIL Hudson Hills, $50.00 cloth, ISBN 1-55595-249-6 ublished in conjunction with the exhibition of the same Pname at the Newcomb Art Gallery of Tulane University in 2004, Ida Kohlmeyer: Systems of Color addresses Kohlmeyer’s distinguished career as a painter and sculptor. Michael Plante, professor of art at Tulane and a curator, noted editor, author, and expert on abstract expressionism, brings us to the work and life of a second-generation abstract expressionist who spent her entire career outside the New York art world, opting instead for a life with her family in New Orleans. Plante’s text is a journey into the complexities of an artist who has flown under the radar of most enthusiasts of the period. Kohlmeyer knew the right players (Hans Hofmann, Mark Rothko, Joan Miro, James Johnson Sweeney), showed in the right places (David Findlay Galleries in New York, William Sawyer Galleries in San Francisco, High Museum of Art in Atlanta), and received supportive criticism by such writers as Elizabeth Magowen, Barbara Rose, and Eleanor Heartney. However, she never received the same level of attention as other female abstract expressionists, such as Grace Hartigan and Joan Mitchell, because she was south of the Mason-Dixon line. Kohlmeyer’s work moved through a number of phases, begin- ning with the figure. Upon entering Hans Hofmann’s Provincetown school of art in 1956 at the age of 44, she was a traditional portraitist, but within a week she had been con- verted to Hoffman’s theories of color, space, and abstraction.
