Current Exhibitions at PAAM Robert Henry July 18 – August 31, 2008 Opening: July 18, 8 - 10 A comprehensive overview of the work of painter Robert Henry. Curated by Peter Watts this exhibition will feature oil paintings and works on paper. Over the past year, Henry has been working to create a series of tryptichs, never before exhibited in a museum setting. The exhibition marks a critical step in acknowledging Robert Henry's stature and underlines the significant contribution of Hans Hofmann and his students to American mid-century art. Born in Brooklyn in 1933, Henry received his BA at Brooklyn College, studying with Ad Reinhardt and Kurt Seligman. In the early 50's, he spent three years studying with Hans Hofmann in New York and Provincetown. Since then he has been presented in many one-person exhibitions, including Provincetown's original East End Gallery and The Group Gallery, as well as in numerous museums across the country and internationally. He has had many reviews appear in The New York Times, Village Voice, Art News, Soho News and other publications, lectured and taught widely. Henry holds an enormous amount of history that he willingly shares through lectures, classes, and his artwork. This exhibition and the documentation of Henry's history supports the significant contribution that Hofmann and his students, both past and present, carry on to preserve a very important legacy. The Fredi Schiff Levin Lecture Series continues with Joy of Change - A Gallery Talk with Robert Henry - Tuesday, July 22- 7pm Art of the Garden Members' Exhibition June 27 – July 27, 2008 Opening: June 27, 8 - 10 Nineteen artist-members have been invited to participate in PAAM’s 2008 Art of the Garden Exhibition.  Selected artists were asked to interpret works from the permanent collection, applying their own style and personal aesthetic to collection favorites.  The exhibition coincides with the 11th Annual Secret Garden Tour, a fundraising event that supports the educational and cultural initiatives of PAAM and provides funding for public programs throughout the year. Artists represented the Art of the Garden Exhibition include: Ramon Alcolea, Sally Brophy, Barbara Cantor, Polly Cote, Gail Fields, Joe Fiorello, John Gilbride, Mary Ince, Andrew Kooistra, Lorraine Kujawa, Joan Cobb Marsh, Peter McDonough, Nancy Nicol, Suzanne Packer, Lynn Stanley, Michael Waldon, Rachel White, Mike Wright, James Zimmerman PAAM's 11th Annual Secret Garden Tour was held Sunday, July 13th with a double header garden experience. The day began with a walking tour of Provincetown's Secret Gardens and concluded at the Museum with a reception at the Art of the Garden Exhibition. Mary Ince, after Ferol Sibley Warthen Edna Boies Hopkins is generally included with the group of artists collectively known as the Provincetown Printmakers, yet not a great deal is known about her life and art. Much of this lack of information is due to her early death in 1937 (with no direct heirs) and to her many homes (New York City, Paris, Provincetown, Cincinnati, Columbus, and Maine). During her lifetime, Hopkins was a highly successful artist with strong ties to Provincetown who in two brief decades produced at least seventy-four known woodblock prints. The rarity of her work and the lack of large amounts of biographical information on her make her a mysterious and compelling artist. Copies of the corresponding catalogue- the first publication specifically focused on her career and artistic production- are available for purchase at PAAM. Organized by The Columbus Museum of Art, Ohio; Cincinnati Art Museum, Ohio; Springfield Museum of Art, Ohio Edna Boies Hopkins Woodblock Prints: Strong in Character,Colorful in Expression June 13 – August 3, 2008 Opening: June 13, 8 - 10 Interior of Robert Motherwell Studio Studio Show June 13 – August 3, 2008 Opening: June 13, 8 – 1 Curated by Michael Mazur Studios are full of ghosts — ghosts of artists long gone, but not forgotten by relatives who hold on to their workspaces as memorials. When I visit them, I’m disconcerted by the sweet sorrow of their emptiness, their cleanliness and order. Yet the artist’s presence, nearly palpable, persists in the silent air. The studio is the laboratory, the workshop, the sanctuary and temple, the home and the retreat. It is the spiritual and physical core of the artist’s life. - M. Mazur Three prominent cultural venues are sponsoring The Studio Show, a large collaborative exhibit that will present the history and fate of artist studios in Provincetown. The exhibit illustrates the architectural and historic significance of these structures through paintings, photographs, models, objects and architectural plans.
