BYU Museum of Art plans 2008 exhibits
Continuing and new exhibits feature rich palette
Meanwhile, the museum is planning several new exhibitions, including collector John H. Schaeffer's "Masterworks of Victorian Art," a collection of photographs taken of the dismantling of Geneva Steel, once a major employer in Utah County, and "Turning Point: The Demise of Modernism and the Rebirth of Meaning in American Art."
Continuing collections on display include "American Dreams: Selected Works From the Museum's Permanent Collection of American Art," which runs through 2011.
Organized by the museum, it examines artworks created by 18th-, 19th- and 20th-century American artists as ideas or visions of America. This expanded exhibition of the museum's permanent American art collection is exhibited on both levels and includes prints, sculpture, photography and painting. Curators have divided it into three thematic sections: "The Dream of Eden," "American Aspirations" and "Envisioning America."
"Some of the works in the exhibition come from private collections and have not been seen publicly for many years," museum spokesman Christopher Wilson said.
The exhibition also explores how Teichert's personal dramatic flair contributed to the theatrical characteristics of her murals of religious and western subjects.
Sponsors also include Classical 89 KBYU FM, the state of Utah Office of Museum Services and the Brigham Young University Women's Research Institute.
Also continuing is "Cliche and Collusion: Video Works by Grant Stevens" through Feb. 9.
The exhibition is a collection of Stevens' video by the contemporary multimedia artist. They display excerpts from advertising, music, film and common conversation that are familiar to American audiences.
Organized by the museum, the exhibition is sponsored in part by the Eccles Foundation, Curtis and Mary Ann Atkisson and the Museum of Art Store.
"Masterworks of Victorian Art" opens Feb. 15 and runs through Aug. 16 and includes paintings and drawings by some of the most widely acclaimed British artists of the 19th century.
The paintings depict stories from ancient history and contemporary life of that era in rich detail and color.
