A collection of works by African American artists from the Spelman College Museum of Fine Art kicked off a national tour on September 30 with an opening at the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center on the Vassar College campus. The exhibition, titled Silver Linings, highlights the works of masters, pioneers, and trailblazers who anchor the Spelman collection. The nearly 40 works represent a variety of media and techniques including painting, drawing, sculpture, mixed-media collage, prints, and photographs.
In honor of the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center’s 30th anniversary and the 160th anniversary of the collection, the Loeb has published Making & Meaning, a richly illustrated 248-page catalogue featuring a diverse array of works from the museum.
