| Info/Notes: | WaterVoorhees Special Exhibition Galleries Water, as a vital resource for all life on earth, is an issue of great importance for the sciences and the humanities. Water’s precious nature, its beauty, as well as its power as a force of nature have been the subject of poetry, music, dance and the visual arts. Biologists have studied water as the source of life, and recently been studying how measurable climate shifts will affect life on our planet. The melting of the glaciers and ice fields of the North and South Poles and the rise in sea water may significantly alter the coastlines of our continents and the many urban centers that have historically been built on the edges of seas and waterways. Too much water or too little water are threats to human civilization and to many land-based life-forms. Water is both a precious resource and a threat; the management of water for the benefit of all is another aspect of “ecologies in the balance.” This exhibition, drawn from the Zimmerli’s collections of American, French, Russian, and Soviet art, as well as from the Children’s Original Book Illustration Collection, is a broad survey of the subject of water. Works from the collection will include prints by Vija Celmins, Honoré Daumier, Paul Gauguin, Hiroshige, and Whistler; paintings by Albert Bierstadt, John F. Kensett, Johan Barthold Jongkind, and Nikolai Dubovskoi; and photographs by Edward Steichen and Francesco Infante (among others). While based on the geographic and historical spread of the museum’s collections, the exhibition will also include important loans from other art museums representing water as an image and symbol from Africa, Southeast Asia and the Americas. We will also borrow works from contemporary artists who have created evocative works that resonate as images of water; among the artists under consideration are Lynn Davis, Geoffrey Hendricks, Maya Lin, Wangechi Mutu, and Bill Viola. The exhibition is organized by Donna Gustafson, Liaison for the Mellon Program and Assistant Curator of American Art, in collaboration with Gail Aaron, Assistant Curator for Original Children’s Book Illustration; Christine Giviskos, Associate Curator of European Art; Julia Tulovsky, Assistant Curator of Russian and Soviet Art; Marilyn Symmes, Director of the Morse Research Center and Curator of Prints; and Jeffrey Wechsler, Senior Curator, Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Art Museum.
