❱ Feature exhibitions on view during LFOA:

Warrington Colescott: Cabaret, Comedy & Satire

June 10–Sept. 26, 2010, Contemporary Galleries: Warrington Colescott is the

premier satirical printmaker working in the United States, employing his sharp wit and vivid imagination to interpret contemporary and historical events in the tradition of William Hogarth, Francisco de Goya, Honoré Daumier and George Grosz. He is internationally respected for his exceptional command of complex techniques and for his unique practice of cutting intaglio plates to silhouette compositional elements. The Milwaukee Art Museum has the largest collection of work by Colescott. Warrington Colescott: Cabaret, Comedy, and Satire will highlight

the Museum’s rich holdings and celebrate 60 years of Colescott’s print production.

Warrington Colescott: Cabaret, Comedy & Satire is sponsored by M&I Foundation.

American Quilts: Selections from the Winterthur Collection

May 22, 2010–Sept. 6, 2010, Baker/Rowland galleries: More than 40

outstanding quilts on exhibition from Winterthur Museum & Country Estate document women’s political, social and cultural lives in the formative period of the early American republic (1760-1850). With skillful needlework, graphic patterning and an eye for color, quiltmakers transformed

both common and exotic textiles into extraordinary works of art.

American Quilts: Selections from the Winterthur Collection is sponsored by Friends of Art and made possible through funds raised at various FOA events, including Lakefront Festival of Arts.

The AIDS Memorial Quilt June 8–20, 2010, Schroeder Galleria:

Honor the lives of those lost to AIDS. Nine specially selected quilts show the contributions of fashion designers – including Dolce & Gabbana, Versace, Ralph Lauren and Isaac Mizrahi – to the largest community folk-art project in the world. The quilt designed by the Milwaukee AIDS

Project (now the AIDS Resource Center of Wisconsin) is also on display.

The Milwaukee Art Museum’s presentation of the AIDS Memorial Quilt is supported by Joseph Pabst and the Johnson & Pabst LGBT Humanity Fund at the Greater Milwaukee Foundation in coordination with ARCW.
