Marywood University Features Art History Teaching Exhibition

The exhibition, “Art History Teaching Exhibition,” is currently running in the Maslow Study Gallery for Contemporary Art through March 19, 2025.

Featured artists include Bernd and Hilla Becher, Evelyn Hofer, Barbara Kasten, Denny Moers, Robert Rauschenberg, Dan Rizzie, and Kenneth Snelson 

Mark Webber, art history Instructor and exhibition co-curator, noted, “Given the opportunity to bring together a selection of works from the Maslow Collection, and with two courses involving art and architecture—one generally Medieval, the other specifically Greek—I enjoyed the challenge of pulling work that might refer to, or start conversations about these topics with my students.”

Webber continued, “With the help of Curator Ryan Ward, I found both direct and indirect references to structure—physical and compositional. Visitors can toy with the references to obscured artifact, improbable balance and the ongoing use of ancient architectural theme.”

The Maslow Study Gallery for Contemporary Art, located within the Shields Center for Visual Art on Marywood’s campus, is open Monday through Friday, from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. The exhibit is free and open to the public. For more information on Marywood art galleries, visit marywood.edu/galleries.
