The University Museum at IUP is proud to present an
exhibition featuring paintings and sculpture from its permanent collection.
Items that will be shown will include the sculpture Josephine
by renowned Ukrainian artist Alexander Archipenko, who during his career used
new materials and new techniques in his work often breaking with conventions of
the time.
Additionally, pottery from Native American artist Maria Montoya
Poveka Martinez (San Ildefonso Pueblo), known for her black-on-black ceramic
vessels, will be on display. Her work marks a crucial point in the extensive
history of Pueblo pottery.
Recently restored painting Foggy Morning by
prominent local artist Louise Pershing and the painting Goodrich Silos
by artist Frank Herbert Mason will also be on exhibit. Mason’s extensive research
of the painting techniques of the Old Masters, manifested a profound impact on
his own work.
This exhibit is open now until November 20, 2020. There is no opening reception. To help stop the spread of COVID-19, face coverings are required in all university buildings. The exhibit has been designed and installed to help promote social distancing.
