LINCOLN, NEBRASKA.- The Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery presents Collage Aesthetic, on view through February 4, 2007. One of the most important and influential stylistic inventions in 20th century art, collage allows artists to collect and transform bits and pieces from the material world into an entirely new composition or configuration.

Collage Aesthetic presents a small but important selection of art. Works by Bruce Conner, Joseph Cornell, Weldon Kees, Irwin Kremen and others reveal the creative power of this modern artistic method. To view a list of artworks included in the exhibition, click here: Collage Aesthetic List.

Generous support from the Nebraska Art Association and Nebraska Arts Council has made this exhibition possible. Visitors are invited to attend an opening for the exhibition during Sheldon's First Friday, October 6, from 5 to 7 p.m. The reception will offer appetizers and a cash bar.
