An exhibition of the drawings of 14 St. Louis area artists goes on view in The Saint Louis Art Museum’s Cohen Gallery on Tuesday, September 10.
The exhibition, the 29th in the CURRENTS series, is co-curated by Judith C. Weiss, Curator of Prints, Drawings and Photographs and Michael Shapiro, Curator of 19th and 20th Century Art. CURRENTS 29: DRAWING IN ST. LOUIS focuses on the art of drawing—the various techniques used and the diverse approaches of artists to the medium.
Each of the 14 artists, selected by the curators from 72 applicants, will be represented by two or three recent works. Included will be drawings in pen and ink, watercolor, pastel, charcoal, oil stick, and graphite. Works exemplify the varied nature and styles of drawing from realism to abstraction and provide an exciting look at drawing in St. Louis today.
The following artists’ works will be shown: Kent Addison, Carol Carter, Leila Daw, Deborah Donoghue, William Hawk, Howard Jones, Ron Thomas, William Kohn, Bethany Kriegsman, Pat Schuchard, Mary Sprague, and Steven Teczar from St. Louis; Robert R. Malone from Edwardsville, Illinois and Denis L. Ringering from Collinsville, Illinois. CURRENTS 29: DRAWING IN ST. LOUIS remains on view through November 3. CURRENTS is a series of contemporary art exhibitions at The Saint Louis Art Museum.
It is supported by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts and funds from the Missouri Arts Council.
