Color ways was an exploration of color design by four faculty members in the department of Design, Housing and Apparel. Each artist worked in distinct media, producing images that are highly personal. At the same time, viewers were able to experience these images as a cohesive group, with an interplay of themes and approaches. Using the discipline of the series form, the artists created watercolors, drawings, collages, and computer generated illustrations.
The Goldstein: A Work in Progress
Exhibition Details
- June 12–November 1, 1998
- Gallery 241
This exhibition provided an opportunity for the museum to take its bearings, consider its journey to this point, and to chart future directions. At any one point in time, the story of any dynamic organization is always that of one in progress. The exhibition was mapped into four sections, each corresponding to The Goldstein's four-part mission of collecting, teaching, research and outreach. It explored recent collecting, the ways in which collections are used for teaching, research by faculty and students, and the interactions between the museum and the community.

This exhibition featured the personal collection of U of M professor Tim Blade, who died of lymphoma in 1996. Blade was considered the regional expert on the subject of collecting and used his collections as teaching tools. The retrospective told the story of those who influenced him, encouraged his love of art and history, and the mentors who set him in motion. He collected American federal furniture, 17 and 18th century old master drawings and watercolors, Oriental rugs and European and Chinese decorative arts.
