OCTOBER POST from Carole
CORRECTION
I thank you Dana for correcting my note regarding the Sydney Yeager portrait at AMOA. My apologies go to Austin artist/photographer George Krause. I incorrectly attributed his photograph to Chuck Close who is the feature artist in the current AMOA show. George Krause is represented in Austin at the dBerman Gallery.
MUSEUM NEWS
Last month on National Public Radio I heard that a Graham Green unfinished and unpublished novel was discovered. Guess where? It was found in Austin in the University of Texas HUMANITIES RESEARCH COLLECTION (HRC). I confirmed this with director Tom Staley who had associate librarian Richard Workman call with details. The initial collection was acquired from the author before his death in 1991. It is a mystery story to be published in serial form in an English magazine that I believe is called The Strand.
Did you know that the erudite and enthusiastic new director of the BLANTON MUSEUM OF ART contemplated a move to Austin many years ago? A young Ned Rifkin was among those interviewed for a position at Laguna Gloria Art Museum by then director Laurence Miller.
Annette Carlozzi was hired. Her gifts as curator were recognized and appreciated. She made a move to the Blanton to work with previous director Jesse Otto Hite. Over the years Carlozzi and Rifkin kept in touch. Now Annette's friend is her boss.
Dr. Ned Rifkin told me that when Laurence Miller recently called for a lunch date, he replied, "Laurence, you know we could have done this years ago."
Don't miss the events to celebrate the reuniting of Veronese's THE PETROBELLI ALTERPIECE this month at the Blanton Museum. Identified as the missing central fragment was THE HEAD OF AN ANGEL in the Blanton's collection. This will be the only venue for this exhibition of the alterpiece.
GALLERIES
At the DAVIS GALLERY three gifted Austin artists are sharing a show that opens October 24th. Laurel Daniel, Christopher St. Leger and Bill Walgren will exhibit recent paintings.
The WALLY WORKMEN GALLERY will feature popular artist Will Klemm's new oils and pastels, October 10 - 31.
A retrospective of sculptor Damian Priour is ongoing at the UNLAUF SCULPTURE GARDEN AND MUSEUM until January 3.
BOOK
Here is a quote from ROBERT HENRI (1865-1929) from his book THE ART SPIRIT published in paperback by Westview Press. "All art that is worth while is a record of intense life, and each artist's work is a record of his (her) special effort, search and findings in a language especially chosen."
No IMAGE this month. My work is "in progress" which is short for no effort, search or findings last month.
