EXHIBITIONS:

Sparkle Then Fade

Through September 3, 2007

Sparkle Then Fade features artists who employ highly reflective materials such as mirrors, Mylar, resin, and plastics to hold attention and generate powerful metaphors for the complexities of life. Through these various media, the artists engage the fleeting nature of time, beauty, permanence, and memory to offer provocative commentary on celebrity and power, the promises of consumer culture, the persistence of racism, and the personal sense of self. Nationally recognized artists such as Andy Warhol, Jeff Koons, Alice Wheeler, Marilyn Minter, Kathryn van Dyke, Josiah McElheny, 0100101110101101.org, and assume vivid astro focus, will be on view with Northwest artists such as Alex Schweder, Jack Daws, and Claude Zervas.

This exhibition is organized by Tacoma Art Museum. Sparkle Then Fade is generously sponsored by Click! Network, Tacoma Power.

Neddy Artist Fellowship 2007

Through August 19, 2007

Tacoma Art Museum presents the works of the eight 2007 Neddy Artist Fellowship Finalists. The Fellowship is one of the few large awards granted to visual artists in the Northwest. It was established in 1996 as a memorial to Robert E. (Ned) Behnke (1948-1989) by the Behnke family and the Behnke Foundation, who sought to honor Ned’s contributions to the Northwest artistic community. The Fellowship is an unrestricted cash award of $14,000 to a Northwest artist who demonstrates artistic excellence, innovation, unique vision, and a passionate commitment to his or her art and community. Originally conceived as an award for painters, the Neddy soon expanded to recognize work by artists in other media. Whiting Tennis was selected for painting. Buddy Bunting and Victoria Haven were also nominated. Charles Krafft was chosen for ceramics, a category that was eligible for the award for the first time this year. Yuki Nakamura, Eric Nelsen, Alex Schweder, and Tip Toland were Krafft’s fellow nominees.

The 2007 Neddy Artist Fellowship is generously supported by The Behnke Foundation and The Behnke Family.

The Quiet Landscapes of William B. Post

- and -

36 Views of Japanese Prints: Selections from the Tacoma Art Museum Collection
Through September 16, 2007

Tacoma Art Museum pairs an exhibition of photographs by William B. Post with selections from the museum’s permanent collection of Japanese woodblock prints. Post was a preeminent pictorial photographer at the turn of the century. His style reflected Japanese aesthetics with soft focus, still life images, and poetic rural scenes. Many artists of the time were strongly influenced by ukiyo-e prints (translated as pictures of the floating world), which celebrated life during the Edo period (1603-1867) in Japan. To highlight the artistic affinity between Post’s photography and Japanese prints, Tacoma Art Museum presents these works together in the Weyerhaeuser Family and Boeing Company Gallery. Drawing from its remarkable collection, including several recent gifts from the collection of Dr. Alfred Buck, the museum reveals this conversation across cultures. The exhibition demonstrates the breadth of the collection, with prints dating from the seventeenth through the nineteenth centuries. Both exhibitions focus on the observation of nature in all seasons.

The Quiet Landscapes of William B. Post is organized by the Minneapolis Institute of Arts and is traveling nationally. The exhibition is generously sponsored by The Paul G. Allen Family Foundation and City Arts Magazine.

36 Views of Japanese Woodblock Prints: Selections from the Collection is organized by Tacoma Art Museum. The exhibition is generously supported by the Tom and Jane Yotsuuye Family.

Telling Stories: Selections from the Permanent Collection

Through Autumn 2008

This thematic selection from Tacoma Art Museum’s permanent collection explores how artists capture the spirit and essence of narrative tales. Following closely the narrative structure of stories, themes include character (portraiture), setting (landscape and still life), and plot development and resolution (figurative works). The exhibition includes many favorites from the museum’s collection, surveying works made from the late 1890s to the present in a vast array of media. Highlights include well-known paintings such as The Two Sisters by Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Ballet in the Park by Everett Shinn. The art of the Northwest is showcased with works by Jacob Lawrence, Joseph Park, Barbara Earl Thomas, Patti Warashina, and others.

The exhibition is organized by Tacoma Art Museum. Local support is generously provided by Robert Half International.

HOURS – Tuesday – Saturday 10 am – 5 pm, Third Thursdays 10 am – 8 pm, Sunday 12 – 5 pm. Open Monday Memorial Day through Labor Day.

ADMISSION – Adult $7.50, Student/Military/Senior (65+) $6.50, Family $25 (2 adults and up to 4 children under 18). Children 5 and under free. Third Thursdays free. Members always free.
