Exhibitions each year usually include one photography show, one featuring a living artist, one historical show, one with close interplay with the curriculum, and an annual student show. Advance planning is a must. Original Prints by Franciose Gilot, the mother of two of Pablo Picasso s children, was booked two years ago. It was really going out on a limb, she admits. The Lore Degenstein Gallery is open to the public free of charge.
Admission is free.
The happy result is a generous gift from Susquehanna parents Joseph and Ann Silbaugh, a major addition to the University s permanent collection, and an exciting spring exhibition for the University s Lore Degenstein Gallery. Students have spent more than five months working with Gallery Director Valerie Livingston and Registrar Mary Beth Moore to prepare the materials for a formal appraisal. It s our system, but it s their project, stresses Livingston, emphasizing the magnitude of students involvement. The project was, quite simply, enormous. The collection includes pieces that date from about 1900 to 1990, covering nearly a full century after Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and others popularized poster art.
