I’m very happy to report these new acquisitions for my museum, the Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art: two paintings by the late Roger Brown (1941–1997), a native Alabamian who made it big as a Chicago Imagist.


Hank Williams, Honky Tonk Man, 1990, oil on canvas, 72 x 72 inches


Mothra at Inner Circle Drive, 1988, oil on canvas, 48 x 72 inches

A few installation shots of As Above, So Below. Egg tempera paintings, etchings, photographs, silverpoint drawings, and video by collaborating couple Suzanne Scherer and Pavel Ouporov.

My latest curatorial project, As Above, So Below: Recent Work by Scherer & Ouporov, is currently on view at the Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art at Auburn University, accompanied by a fully illustrated, hard-cover catalogue. (Available through the JCSM Gift Shop.)
Exhibition dates are August 28–November 27, 2010. Come by if you’re in the vicinity!
