Members Art History Lecture Series: Curator's Choice with Pam McClusky
|
||
 | ||
This year's Members Art History Lecture series covers a rich spectrum of engaging topics. Join us as SAM’s outstanding curators explore thought-provoking topics within their areas of SAM’s permanent collection.
In 1961, a young woman from Cleveland Ohio began to collect in a way that had never been done before. Twenty years later, she had assembled one of the foremost private collections of African art in the United States. How she did this and why her legacy came to the Seattle Art Museum will be examined. Her experiences will be updated with observations about African art today, as Pam McClusky, Curator of Art of Africa & Oceania, will have recently returned from a National Geographic expedition in March, along the Atlantic coast of West Africa.
Other lectures in this series include:
November 14, 2012: My Friend, Georgia O’Keeffe: Barney Ebsworth Reminisces December 12: Victoria Haven: Portable Monuments January 16, 2013: Together Again: Nuxalk Faces of the Sky February 20: New Visions, Old Stories: Reinstalling the Japanese Art Galleries March 20: Venus and Adonis by Paolo Veronese and Workshop April 17: What, Exactly, are the Decorative Arts?
