SUMMARY:Monumental: Michael Izrael Galmer\, Silversmith
DESCRIPTION:APRIL 6\, 2018 – MAY 20\, 2018 \nThe Biggs Museum of American Art is grateful to highlight its 25th Anniversary Celebration with an exhibition on the famed American silversmith\, Michael Izrael Galmer. Born to a Jewish family in Soviet Russia\, he immigrated with his wife Galina to New York in 1981. Galmer combined his advanced degrees in engineering with a deep-rooted need to express himself artistically to develop a unique process of molding silver. While Galmer is extremely well known for his commercial products of jewelry\, accessories and most notably table wares – some produced for the leading American manufacturers of silver today – this exhibition honors a new and more uniquely expressive direction for the artist. At the same time\, this fresh body of works explores the emotional impact and\, frankly\, surprise of immense scale upon admirers of silver objects.

SUMMARY:Rembrandt Etchings: States\, Fakes and Restrikes
DESCRIPTION:MAY 12\, 2018 – JULY 8\, 2018 \nRembrandt Harmensz van Rijn (1606-69) was one of the most influential printmakers in the history of art. But how can one be sure that a Rembrandt is truly or wholly by THE Rembrandt? This exhibition examines the problem of authenticating this artist’ etchings. The exhibition includes first state pulls of etchings made during the artist’s lifetime as well as restrike prints made after his death and well into the 20th century.

SUMMARY:Milton Downing: Moral Assembly
DESCRIPTION:JUNE 1\, 2018 – JULY 22\, 2018 \nMilton Downing insists he is not an activist\, but perhaps a moralist. This assemblage artist gathers pieces of discarded clothing and other found objects into painted compositions that reveal a wide range of human experiences. His subjects\, regardless of their backgrounds\, are elevated through an expressive use of color and enlivened through the artist’s gestural use of paint. The emotional content of the people depicted are channeled through the forms emerging from the artist’s incorporated materials: a piece of denim influences a posture that dictates the narrative of his figure. From dejected and harassed people on the fringes of society to sports stars at the center of attention\, Downing’s images act as a tribute to emotional and physical endurance. His subjects shed light on challenges facing many Americans with depictions of archetypes within its communities.

SUMMARY:Audubon\, Then and Now
DESCRIPTION:AUGUST 3\, 2018 – NOVEMBER 25\, 2018 \nIn 1826 at the age of 41\, encouraged by his wife\, Audubon took his portfolio of 300+ works to England. Today\, more than ever his work endures and segments of his work are right here at the Biggs in Dover. This exhibition examines the importance of the artist and naturalist\, John James Audubon\, through a large exhibition of his earliest works from both the Birds of America and Viviparous Quadropeds publications. This historical analysis will be coupled with the works of contemporary artists influenced by early naturalists and recorded in an exhibition catalog with color reproductions and essays by leading scholars. \nModern opinions of Audubon’s legacy will also be explored with displays of artworks by living artists influenced by this paragon of 19th century naturalist art.

SUMMARY:An Artist's Education: William H. McDaniel
DESCRIPTION:DECEMBER 6\, 2018 – JANUARY 19\, 2019 \nDelaware is known for producing a great number of successful artists. Exceptional art schools in the area have produced luminaries of American illustration and fine arts. William H. McDaniel demonstrated great promise attending the Wilmington Academy of Art in the late 1920s\, but the Great Depression ended his hopes of an art career. Despite his turn in fortunes\, his family saved the bulk of his art school projects for nearly 100 years and is sharing this archival look into his early art education for the first time to rediscover this talent that was never fully realized.

SUMMARY:Rooted\, Revived and Reinvented: Basketry in America
DESCRIPTION:FEBRUARY 1\, 2019 – APRIL 28\, 2019 \nRooted\, Revived\, Reinvented: Basketry in America chronicles a history of American basketry from its origins in Native American\, immigrant\, and slave communities to its presence within the contemporary fine art world. Baskets convey meaning through the artists’ selection of materials; the techniques they use; and the colors\, designs\, patterns\, and textures they employ. Historical baskets were rooted in local landscapes and shaped by cultural traditions. The rise of the industrial revolution and mass production at the end of the nineteenth century led basket makers to create works for new audiences and markets\, including tourists\, collectors and fine art museums. Today the story continues. Some contemporary artists seek to maintain and revive traditions practiced for centuries. Others combine age-old techniques with nontraditional materials to generate cultural commentary. Still others challenge viewers’ expectations by experimenting with form\, materials\, and scale. This exhibition is divided into 5 sections: Cultural Origins\, New Basketry\, Living Traditions\, Basket as Vessel\, and Beyond the Basket.
