Loyola Collects: Selections from the Permanent Collection & Faculty Private Collections

Julio Fine Arts Gallery at Loyola College presents: Loyola Collects:
Selections from the Permanent Collection & Faculty Private Collections
Exhibition Dates: October 6 – October 26, 2008
Opening Reception: Thursday, October 9, 5 – 7 pm

Julio Fine Arts Gallery at Loyola College in Maryland is pleased to present Loyola Collects: Selections from the
Permanent Collection & Faculty Private Collections. This exciting exhibition will include works of nineteenth-century French artists such
as Honoré Daumier, Alponse LeGros and Dominique Jouvet-Magron as well as drawings of Minimalist, Agnes Martin and Abstract Expressionist,
Morris Louis. The exhibition will also feature lithograph prints by Irving Amen, Hollis Sigler and various other prints and photographs from
contemporary artists such as Suzanne Marshall, Joy Laville, Ed Ruscha, Matthew Sugarman, Grace Hartigan, M. Jordan Tierney, Joseph Hyde and
Sarah Hobbs.

We are also proud to include in the exhibition several items of rare furniture, including a collection of “Morris Chairs” (ca.1933) designed
by Gilbert Rohde (1894-1944) for the Troy Sunshade Company, and an adjustable “flip top” floor lamp designed and manufactured by Kurt
Versen (1901-1997) around 1935; Rohde, a noted American industrial designer, is widely known as an innovative furniture maker, and is
perhaps best known for his design of the clock tower for the Herman Miller Company, Zeeland, Michigan in 1931. Both Rohde’s and Versen’s
pieces should provide a fascinating glimpse at the work of some of America’s foremost designers of the early decades of the twentieth
century.

Julio Fine Arts Gallery is located on the Loyola College campus at 4501 N. Charles Street, Baltimore, MD 21210. Gallery hours are Monday through
Friday 11am -5pm and Sunday 1-4pm. For more information about the exhibition and gallery programs, contact Gallery Director, Kay Hwang at

About the Program

The film Ram Dass: Fierce Grace chronicles the life of Richard Alpert, a Harvard professor who in 1963 was removed from his position at that institution for conducting controversial psychedelic drug research. He later traveled to India where he met his guru Maharaj ji, who renamed him Ram Dass ("Servant of God"). Best known for his 1971 best seller “Be Here Now”, Ram Dass became an inspiration to people around the world. Seating is limited so please contact School 33 Art Center to RSVP by Thursday, October 2, 2008 at school33@promotionandarts.com.

The topic Mystical Circuitry: Mind, Body, and Art will be an intriguing panel and group discussion revolving around various issues addressed in the film and throughout the featured exhibition. Mysticism, the paranormal, transcendence, and consciousness are some of the topics that panelists will discuss and engage in with the audience.
