Insert plain text message here ----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Last Chance... There is still room on the all-day post-conference tour to the Cleveland Museum of Art on March 23, 2000. A box lunch will be included as part of the tour. The Cleveland Museum of Art contains a collection of approximately 40,000 works of art including masterpieces from ancient civilizations to the present and is renowned for it's encyclopedic breadth and superb quality. The permanent collection includes such masterworks as Picasso's La Vie, Caravaggio's The Crucifixion of St. Andrew, David's Cupid and Psyche, Sargent's Portrait of Mrs. Ralph Curtis, the famous Hals portrait of Tieleman Roosterman, eight pieces from the Guelph Treasure, Poussin's Holy Family on the Steps as well as major collections of art from China, Japan, Korea and India. The Museum has recently acquired several major pieces of later 20th century art by Christo, Warhol, Richter, Kiefer and others. The collections are displayed in an elegant Beaux-Arts building designed by the Cleveland architectural firm, Hubbell and Benes and in three major additions including a Marcel Breuer wing which opened in 1971. The Museum's Ingalls Library is housed in the most recent addition (1983) to the Museum campus. With the arrival of the Museum's fifth director, Katherine Lee Reid, the Museum is about to embark on a major bullding campaign which will provide much needed gallery space for the growing collections. Located in University Circle, the Museum is surrounded by the Fine Arts Garden, a 15 acre public park landscaped by the Olmsted Brothers firm. The Museum and the Fine Arts Garden are the focus of University Circle, a highly concentrated area of museums, performing arts facilities and educational and medical institutions. The day will include a tour of the Museum's Ingalls Library whose holdings include approximately 260,000 volumes, 445,000 slides and 6,000,000 photographic images in microform and as mounted photographs. Four special exhibitions will be mounted during the ARLIS visit and a tour of the Ur exhibition will be offered by the curator in charge of it: Treasures from the Royal Tombs of Ur, Jeff Brouws Photographs of Cleveland: A City Renewed, Lynn Gessaman photographs, East meets West: Tradition and Innovation on Modern Japanese Prints, and Ink Paintings and Ash Glazed Ceramics: Medieval Calligraphy, Painting and Ceramics from Korea and Japan.
