Just got these corrections from contempary art Curator Alex Baker at Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts re my post:Just wanted to let you know that it was [PAFA President] Derek Gillman, not I, who brought both Golubs into the collection. I brought in the H.C. Westermann sculpture currently on view.
The Do Ho Suh show is a collaboration with the Fabric Workshop and not an Academy product.
I will let you know what else we purchase. In a few months time, at least
three new works will enter the collection.
In the past year we have purchased the following:
Elizabeth Murray [image above, plus chairs from gala]
Betye Saar
Leon Golub (2)
Bruce Pollock
Charles Burns
Virgil Marti
Jane Irish
The latest PPC portfolio [Philadelphia Print Collaborative]
H.C. Westermann
-among others
More excitement to come!
[Libby: I’m about to fix the other post, too, so it doesn’t remain wrong in cyberspace forever]
