Featuring 37 works including paintings, watercolors and works on paper drawn, this exhibition is largely from the collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC.

In addition, the accompanying catalogue explores a period of Rothko’s development the 1940s that has received little attention and yet had a profound effect on his late career and brings new scholarship to art history. “This is not an exhibition that needs to justify its existence,” the artist’s son, Christopher Rothko, said. “On the contrary, the only thing that needs to be explained is its tardiness, because within the realm of Rothko’s oeuvre, the works in this exhibition are the key to everything.

SC Institutional Galleries continued from Page 54 major American art museum brings together a definitive collection of African-American face jugs, borrowed from leading institutions and private collectors. This exhibition further illustrates the depth and breadth of African-American contributions to the rich artistic legacy of our state. “Face jug” is a term coined by decorative arts historians to refer to an African-American pottery type created in the South (most notably in present-day Aiken County, SC) between 1850 and 1880. The small, alkaline-glazed stoneware vessels possess facial features-usually wide-eyes and bared teeth-fashioned of kaolin, a locally sourced clay. The face jugs were functional objects that covertly represented the angst and difficulties associated with being an enslaved individual on a Southern plantation environment. These 23 vessels celebrate the aesthetic power of this potent art form and suggest new ways to consider their uses and, perhaps more importantly, their cultural meanings within a community of Americans who lived within challenging circumstances. The exhibition is presented in partnership with the University of South Carolina’s McKissick Museum and generously supported by Charlton Hall Galleries and Susan Thorpe and John Baynes. Wachovia Education Gallery, Through Jan. 6, 2013 - "Alchemy of Art".
