Masters of West Coast Assemblage and Collage


In anticipation of the holiday Gallery Stroll coming up this Friday evening from 6 to 9 pm, posts this week will focus on the three exhibits currently on view at the Salt Lake Art Center. Masters of West Coast Assemblage and Collage is featured in the Projects Gallery and runs now through January 26, 2008.

The image to the left is entitled Ragtime, by Betye Saar (2005), and was lent to our exhibition courtesy of the Michael Rosenfeld Gallery of New York. It is one of five works that represent exhibit Curator Jim Edward's idea of where collage and assemblage began and how it became so important to the development of art that came after.

If you've seen the show, please leave a comment about what you thought; if not, what do you think of collage? Have you had any experiences viewing or creating it?
