Objects from Barbara Rossi’s Home Collection and Selected Works
To deepen scholarship about our collection, temporary exhibitions will occasionally be mounted at the Art Preserve. This first installation, On Loan: Objects from Barbara Rossi’s Home Collection and Selected Works features a small selection of objects from artist Barbara Rossi’s collection, displayed as they were in her former Berwyn, Illinois, home. Accompanying this shelf arrangement are examples of her work: paintings, graphite drawings, and ten color studies for paintings.
As a student of Ray Yoshida, Rossi developed her own way of living and working with a variety of objects she collected and arranged.
The Artists
Objects from Barbara Rossi’s Home Collection and Selected Works is supported by the Kohler Trust for Arts and Education, the Frederic Cornell Kohler Charitable Trust, Kohler Foundation, Inc., and the Wisconsin Arts Board with funds from the State of Wisconsin and the National Endowment for the Arts.
