    Watercolors by Fred Gutzeit

    Press Releases ?
    • Spring 1983: FRED GUTZEIT, WATERCOLORS in the Main Gallery of the Brooklyn Museum Art School, Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, NY, March 20-May 1, 1983. Hours: Weds.-Sats., 10 AM to 5 PM; Suns., Noon to 5 PM
      Opening: Sunday, March 20, 2 to 4 PM

      Nearly 100 works on paper - transparent watercolor - are included in this show. The majority of works explore subtle color and pattern combinations stemming from our passing industrial urban landscape. Fragments of our visual environment are fused into layers of pattern and unexpected spatial experiences. These precise and complex works suggest an interesting relationship to the artist’s current installations around New York using work gloves as a motif.

      "Hi, I am trying to find the name of the artist who took and is in the photograph that follows- http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/opencollection/exhibitions/664/Global_Feminisms_Remix/image/216/Global_Feminisms_Remix._%7C08032007_-_03032008%7C._Installation_view. I believe the artist takes pictures of herself dressed as a man but then exposes her femaleness, as in the photo of her dressed as an Ascetic Jew exposing her breast. Can you help me find her information? Thanks in advance- Aimee Record"

      Brooklyn Museum Art School

      The Brooklyn Museum Art School opened at the Brooklyn Museum in 1941 and was transferred to the Pratt Institute's Continuing Education Division in 1985. While not a degree-granting institution, its chief purpose was the training of professional artists, although it also offered classes for amateurs. The Art School organized regular group and one-person exhibitions, which were held in the school's gallery and classrooms in the Museum's west wing.
      The Brooklyn Museum Archives maintains a collection of historical press releases. Many of these have been scanned and made available on our Web site. The releases range from brief announcements to extensive articles; images of the original releases have been included for your reference.

We welcome your feedback about corrections.
      For select exhibitions, we have made available some or all of the informative text panels written by the curator or organizer. Called "didactics," these panels are presented to the public during the exhibition's run, and we reproduce them here for your reference and archival interest. Please note that any illustrations on the original didactics have not been retained, and that the text may contain errors as a result of the scanning process. We welcome your feedback about corrections.
      For select exhibitions, we have made available some or all of the objects from the Brooklyn Museum collection that were in the installation.
