To celebrate the centennial of the Brooks Museum, generous donors gave 100 Gifts for 100 Years. Yesterday was the last day for this exhibition.
The ones that particularly struck me as I toured the exhibit and that I could find photos of were these:
 |
| Untitled [Tree/Autumn Leaves] by Walter Anderson c/1960 |
 |
| Tabard 15th Century (feathers and cotton textile) Inca Peru |
 |
| Mandara by Lino Tagliapietra 2005 |
This 16-minute video shows all 100 pieces:
This sculpture was placed outside with no label:
Entry to the museum is free on Wednesdays and I usually go then, but I'd let this deadline slip up on me. The place was by no means crowded, but there were people in every room I entered. I'm always glad to see art appreciation taking place.

ReplyDeleteIt is a wonderful museum. I remember it before that addition to the building, and mother remembered it before the addition before that lol. It's a Memphis treasure.
DeleteWhat cool gifts. They have some amazing treasures.
ReplyDeleteThere's such a variety! I can't figure out how they choose the ones for permanent display.
DeleteA museum of gifts--how cool! I appreciated the slide show so I could see all of them. :)
ReplyDeleteThe slideshow was helpful to me, too. I'm glad they put that up.
