AUSTIN ART NEWS for July
Former AMOA director DANA FRIIS-HANSEN left Austin a few days ago for a July 4th celebration with family and on to Michigan where he will be director of the GRAND RAPIDS ART MUSEUM (GRAM). It is an impressive art museum with a new building, a permanent collection, and ambitious programming. A farewell party at "the plant" that he and Mark Holzbach own was attended by many friends and well wishers. We had always wanted to see this unique building near Kyle on the Kuykendall Ranch. It was designed by LAKE-FLATO and built with materials acquired from a cement plant that was dismembered.
The property can be rented for parties and retreats. There is a fine kitchen and a cozy room with a fireplace plus a two story screened porch, 3 bedrooms and baths and an outdoor, covered swimming pool.
Other art news is that ANNETTE CARLOZZI has survived the shake up at the BLANTON MUSEUM OF ART on the University of Texas campus. She remains Deputy Director of Art and Programs under the new director SIMONE J. WICHA.
I HOPE YOU ARE A SUBSCRIBER TO MY MONTHLY BLOG. In August we will be visiting art museums in San Francisco. Gertrude Stein's collection is there and I'll have some things to say about the trip when we return.
