Toledo Federation of Art Societies collection is on display at Canticle Center BY ERIN PALMER SZAVULY
Come to the Canticle Center Gallery, 5335 Silica Dr., for a peek at some significant pieces from the art collection of the Toledo Federation of Art Societies, of which Lourdes University is a member. TFAS has been in existence in the Toledo area for over 100 years, dating back to 1917. For numerous years the "Federation" as it was called historically, purchased pieces at the Toledo Area Artists Exhibition that was held annually at The Toledo Museum of Art. Works in this exhibition are part of the TFAS collection and include pieces by several well-known artists from the region’s past. Artists include Harvey Littleton, known for organizing the first glassblowing seminar aimed at the studio artist in 1962, on the grounds of the Toledo Museum of Art. At that time it was believed glassblowing could only be done on the factory floor. Littleton aimed to put it within the reach of the individual studio artist. Also represented is Charles Lakofsky, a midcentury modernist, who was one of the early ceramists to work with high fire translucent porcelain and Hal Hasselschwert, a jeweler and cooper enamellist who studied at the Government College of Arts and Crafts in Lucknow, India. In addition, current regional artists are on display like James Boldt, Sally Hobbib Rumman, Oraphan Vichitot and Wanda Zuchowski-Schick. This exhibit displays works purchased between 1949 and 2013. This broad range helps organizers to recognize what type of art was produced and desired during the years acquired and also helps them to note the materials and media that were involved. In addition, the exhibit provides a window
into the archival aspects of materials over time. Visitors will notice in this exhibition, aging with pieces of art is of great concern. A dilemma with any art restoration and conservation involves many questions and thoughts, beginning with the artist’s intent. Did they expect their work to have a shelf life for example? Were they concerned about how the work would hold up for the next 50100 years? Did they use the best materials available or did they use what was easily accessible to them? This is not necessarily a new quandary in the art world … ask any museum that owns a piece by Leonard DaVinci. The exhibition is on display through Oct. 11. Exhibition hours are Monday through Friday 10 am to 4 pm. A reception for the public will be held on Friday, Oct. 4 from 6:30 to 8:30 pm as part of Sylvania’s Red Bird Art Walk. Questions may be directed to Erin Palmer Szavuly at ESzavuly@lourdes.edu.
