Art on Paper 2014
Weatherspoon Art Museum, Greensboro
The 43rd Exhibition. The exhibition includes thirty-four emerging and established artists who have created unique works using paper as their primary medium.
Various curators throughout the years have approached the Weatherspoon’s Art on Paper biennial exhibition in different ways. For Art on Paper 2014, curator of exhibitions Xandra Eden invited fewer artists than in the past to provide audiences the opportunity to have a more in-depth understanding of each artist’s work. The exhibition includes thirty-four emerging and established artists who have created unique works using paper as their primary medium.
Since 1965, the Weatherspoon’s Art on Paper exhibition has charted a history of contemporary art through outstanding works on paper. Through the ongoing commitment of xpedx (formerly the Dillard Paper Company) and The Dillard Fund, the Weatherspoon has been able to acquire works from each Art on Paper exhibition for the Dillard Collection, which today numbers nearly 600 works. Acquisitions have included work by some of art’s seminal practitioners, such as Eva Hesse, Frank Stella, and Louise Bourgeois.
Art on Paper 2014 opens on Saturday, September 27 with a Preview Party hosted by the Weatherspoon Art Museum Association with Preview Party Committee Co-chairs Leslie Ketner and Monica Johnston, and committee members Sydney Black, Lane Brown, Kathy Craft, Eileen Fitzgerald, Liza Lee, Barbara Peck, Cheryl Stewart and Maggie Triplette. For tickets, please contact Cathy Rogers at 336.256.1450 or csrogers@uncg.edu.
Support for the exhibition and catalogue is generously provided by the F.M. Kirby Foundation, Inc. Special thanks to UNCG Graduate Assistants, Stacy Bloom Rexrode and Carmen Neely and Curatorial Intern, Lee Summerell.
