Seeing stars at UA Museum of Art The UA Museum of Art is celebrating 90 years of art exhibitions on campus by diving deep into its permanent collection of some 6,000 objects. In a yearlong series of exhibits called “An Unfolding Legacy,” the museum is showing long-acknowledged favorites by the likes of Edward Hopper, Mark Rothko, Andy Warhol and Jackson Pollock. The museum also is showing works that get lots of loan requests by other museums, reproduction requests by various publications and research requests by scholars. The selections are organized around a variety of themes or sometimes grouped together to highlight the importance of particular donors (the museum’s entire collection was built through private donations). One hundred Poems All by One hundred Poets through (1844-45), a woodblock 2014, for print by Utagawa example, Kunisada UAMA will put on view works that pay tribute to the generosity of Edward Gallagher Jr. Here was a guy who not only donated his own impressive Modern art collection, but established an endowment that allowed UAMA to buy more than 1,300 pieces for its permanent collection. Gallagher’s impact is such that the museum had to divide the tribute into three separate shows, explained Olivia Miller, curator of exhibitions and education. For more information about the lineup of fall exhibits, see pages 6-7. The UA Museum of Art is in the Fine Arts Complex near East Speedway and North Park Avenue. It’s open daily except Mondays. Admission is $5.
