Exhibit:
New
Canaan Architects — 1953-1983
Exhibited
on the second floor of the New Canaan Historical Society's
Town House is an overview of thirty years of work by New Canaan
architects. Most of the works selected for this exhibit are
located out of New Canaan, for as their fame spread, commissions
took the architects far and wide, and their styles developed
in a variety of architectural expressions. Included among
the works in the exhibit are personal interpretations of the
International Style, restorations, eclecticisms, and Post-Modern
allusions to our past.
The
New Canaan Historical Society, 13 Oenoke Ridge, is open Tuesday
through Saturday: 9:30 a.m.- 4:30 p.m. On Saturdays, the gallery
is closed between 12:30 and 2 p.m. For further information,

Roy R. Neuberger’s (American, born 1903) generous gift

to establish the Neuberger Museum of Art. In addition to the
many iconic paintings and sculptures for which the collection
is known is a presentation of photographs, drawings, and prints
never before exhibited. Bold groupings and expanded texts
shed new light on the aesthetic and social commitments of

Exhibition:
The African Collection of the Neuberger Museum of Art
 The
African Collection of the Neuberger Museum of Art provides
an introduction to the richness and complexity of the artistic
traditions of Africa.
Focusing
on central Africa, the collection spans a broad geographic
range from Mali to Mozambique, offering artistic insight into
more than thirty cultures.
Of
the major works on display, many come from the collection
of the late Lawrence Gussman, a notable collector and resident
of Scarsdale, New York. Among them are a very rare harp, indeed
the only anthropomorphic harp of the Tsogo peoples of Gabon
known to be in an American museum, and two forceful Fang reliquary
guardian figures.
