The Maier Museum of Art

 In Celebration of the 100th Annual Exhibition of Contemporary Art the Maier Museum Presents:

The Annual Exhibition
of Contemporary Art
1911-2011
An Illustrated Timeline
$29.95

What better way to celebrate a century of innovative exhibitions than with a visual history?
This 48-page, full-color, hardcover illustrated timeline reveals a sustained continuum of attention to the talent and promise of American artists, both established and emerging. It is evidence of forward-thinking art professors and museum directors who shared a vision and commitment to both American art and to students of this College over the decades. Students, in fact, are responsible for this publication. Laura Shearer ’12 began researching and compiling information for the timeline in January 2010. Her hard work was picked up by Kathleen Conti ’11, then by Rhiannon Knol ’11, and finally by Sylvia Tropp ’12. Museum staff has enjoyed sharing in their discoveries and revelations as so much history was assembled in one volume.
This publication was made possible by the generous support of Randolph College Trustee Katharine Stark Caldwell ’74.

The 100th Annual Exhibition of Contemporary Art: The Vision Endures offers a rich diversity of themes and subject matter, signature expressions of important American artists not yet represented in Randolph College’s collection of art. Always with a focus on American art, the collection began in 1907 and has been built over the decades with both careful consideration and intuitive risk-taking.

Randolph College’s nationally recognized Maier Museum of Art features works by outstanding American artists of the 19th and 20th centuries. The College has been collecting American art since 1920 and now holds a collection of several thousand paintings, prints, drawings, and photographs in the Maier’s permanent collection. The Museum hosts an active schedule of special exhibitions and education programs throughout the year. Through its programs, internships, museum studies practicums, and class visits, the Maier Museum of Art provides valuable learning opportunities for Randolph College students and the community at large.
