Drawings, models, and photographs of Tacha’s proposed and executed public sculpture (139 proposals as a finalist in public competitions) are illustrated in VISUALIZING, which complements the earlier, also richly illustrated DANCING (see below for full references). Original slides and films for many works in this catalogue in the categories concept, film and photo (see below) are also at the Archives of American Art. Documentary movies and videos of a number of public sculptures are listed in INVk. INVi and this catalogue include a number of drawings for public commissions that she did not win; some other, generally secondary or duplicate drawings for commissions that she did win, have not been cited in this catalogue, which includes all of the principal drawings and models for those works. While every effort has been made to provide accurate data, because some works of art were inaccessible for inspection, unsure dates, dimensions and/or media are indicated by a ? sign.

COSTOPOULOS FOUNDATION ATHENS SCHOOL OF FINE ARTS Thessaloniki, 19.10.2010 Press Release Athena Tacha: from the Public to the Private “Nikos Kessanlis” exhibition venue Athens School of Fine Arts 256, Piraeus str., Athens October 22 - November 28, 2010 Opening: Friday October 22, at 20:00 After a successful presentation in Thessaloniki and in the artist’s hometown of Larissa, the retrospective exhibition of Athena Tacha – a distinguished Greek-American artist and professor - entitled “Athena Tacha: from the Public to the Private” opened on October 22, at the Athens School of Fine Arts, “Nikos Kessanlis” exhibition venue and lasted until November 28th 2010. It was a 40-year retrospective representing all aspects of Tacha’s work, curated by Katerina Koskina (art historian, museologist and President of the Board of Trustees of the SMCA) and Syrago Tsiara (art-historian, director of the Thessaloniki Contemporary Art Center). The exhibition was co-produced by the State Museum of Contemporary Art, the J.F. Costopoulos Foundation and the Municipal Art Gallery of Larissa - G.I. Katsigras Museum. More than 100 works of Athena Tacha were presented in the exhibition, documenting for the first time in Greece her incredibly important work in environmental, site-specific sculpture and conceptual art. Her public work consists of more than 45 large executed commissions in public places (squares, open recreation areas, fountains, universities, river banks), in many US states – Florida, Ohio, Arizona, Alaska, Pennsylvania, New York – from the early 1970s until now. 1 In parallel, Athena Tacha has been making numerous conceptual art pieces on the relation of the human body, nature and time (aging, heredity studies, movement studies, etc.), as well as a series of digital art works for the Web on environmental and social issues.

  • AAR Magazine Spring Summer 2021`
    AMERICAN ACADEMY IN ROME MAGAZINE SPRING/ SUMMER 2021 A Message from the Chair of the Board of Trustees It’s hard to believe it’s been over a year since the world paused. Thank you for your continued com- mitment to AAR in what I’m sure we will remember as one of society’s most challenging moments. Your time, expertise, guidance, and financial support have all been instrumental in seeing the Academy through this period. I’d also like to thank Mark Robbins and the whole team, especially those on the ground in Rome, for their incredible dedication to navigating the ups, downs, and surprises this past year has brought. Turning to today, the Academy has successfully reopened and the selection process for next year’s fellowship class is complete. AAR is in a much stronger position than I could have imagined when the full pandemic crisis became clear in March 2020. Our finances are stable and (with vaccinations) we believe that by the fall our activities will be close to fully restored. One of the many downsides of this past year has been the lack of direct connection, and we look for- ward to future gatherings in person, here and in Rome. With appreciation and gratitude, Cary Davis Chair, AAR Board of Trustees SPRING/SUMMER 2021 UP FRONT FEATURES 2 20 LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT SEEING THE ANCIENT WORLD AAR receives major gift of photographs 4 by Carole Raddato FAR AFIELD Checking in with past Fellows and Residents 24 GIVING FOR THE AGES 6 Richard E.

    ATHENA TACHA: An Artist’s Library on Environmental Sculpture and Conceptual Art 916 titles in over 975 volumes ATHENA TACHA: An Artist’s Library on Environmental Sculpture and Conceptual Art The Library of Athena Tacha very much reflects the work and life of the artist best known for her work in the fields of environmental public sculpture and conceptual art, as well as photography, film, and artists’ books. Her library contains important publications, artists’ books, multiples, posters and documentation on environmental and land art, sculpture, as well as the important and emerging art movements of the sixties and seventies: conceptual art, minimalism, performance art, installation art, and mail art. From 1973 to 2000, she was a professor and curator at Oberlin College and its Art Museum, and many of the original publications and posters and exhibition announcements were mailed to her there, addressed to her in care of the museum (and sometimes to her colleague, the seminal curator Ellen Johnson, or her husband Richard Spear, the historian of Italian Renaissance art). One of the first artists to develop environmental site-specific sculpture in the early 1970s. her library includes the Berlin Land Art exhibition of 1969, a unique early “Seed Distribution Project” by the land and environmental artist Alan Sonfist, and a manuscript by Patricia Johanson. The library includes important and seminal exhibition catalogues from important galleries such as Martha Jackson’s “New Forms-New Media 1” from 1960. Canadian conceptual art is represented by N.E Thing, including the exhibition at the National Gallery of Canada, and the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design Projects Class cards, both in 1969.
