Astra Velum Prints Added to Haggerty Museum Collection
This past year, I was approached by Wally Mason, chief curator at the Haggerty Museum of Art in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He loved the Astra Velum photogravures, and inquired about adding a few pieces to the Haggerty's collection. I was impressed by Wally's intimate knowledge of his own collection, and his desire to add pieces to it that fit well. I appreciated his desire to steward artwork--to care for and show it well, rather than just stick it in a vault. After some discussion, the museum selected 4 pieces, which were accessioned into their collection this past fall. You can view them here.
