(Milwaukee, WI) The Haggerty Museum of Art at Marquette University is exhibiting a collection of work gifted to the museum during 1998-2000. The exhibition includes a wide variety of paintings, sculpture and works on paper, representing Renaissance to Modern and contemporary art.

Many important figures of 20th Century art are featured in the exhibition, including Georges Braque, Alexander Calder, Man Ray, Pablo Picasso and Frank Stella. Also featured are paintings and prints from the 16th and 17th centuries by Dutch, Flemish and Italian artists Carlo Dolci, Jan Sadeler and Rembrandt,

The Haggerty’s collection of both Rudolph Schlichter and German Expressionism was bolstered by recent acquisitions from the collection of Marvin and Janet Fishman. Paintings, drawings and prints from the early to mid 1900s by Schlichter, as well as paintings by Otto Dix and Pol Cassel are included in the exhibition.

Contemporary, regional and local art are also an important part of the Haggerty’s recent acquisitions. A significant number of paintings, drawings and sculpture by emerging American artists were donated to the museum by Peter and Eileen Norton. The Museum has also been the recipient of recent work by well-known local artists Kenn Kwint, Jason Rohlf and Prophet William J. Blackmon.
