A Retrospective Exhibition of Works by Richard Lack, Don Koestner and Stephen Gjertson
The Bloomington Art Center is pleased to present a landmark exhibition featuring paintings, drawings and etchings by three well-known Minnesota artists. These artists have been friends and colleagues for many decades. Richard Lack is the founder of Atelier Lack, the influential studio-school at which he taught from 1971 to 1992. He painted portraits of many prominent Minnesotans, including two former governors. This exhibition affords a rare opportunity to view a significant selection of his large paintings on themes explored by Swiss psychologist Carl Jung. Don Koestner, called the poet laureate of Minnesota landscape painting by other painters, exhibits a group of works featuring the many moods of Minnesota’s landscapes. Stephen Gjertson, one of Lack's first students, exhibits a varied selection of his genre and historical figure paintings and drawings.

- Gabriel Weisberg Talk and Book Signing
EXPANDING THE BOUNDARIES: Selections From The Gabriel and Yvonne Weisberg Drawing Collection
Weisberg, and his wife, examine the ways in which a drawing collection has been formed over a forty year period. Drawings include those by major academic artists of the nineteenth century whose work often was done in preparation for a painting or exists as a finished work in its own right, without reference to a larger oil painting. Many artists once well-known are now the theme of expanding the parameters of taste and collecting.
