MILWAUKEE — Transforming private into public art, the Milwaukee Art Museum will show some of the city's most interesting private art collections. Many have not been shown publicly before. The Milwaukee Collects exhibition draws from nearly 50 collections and includes more than 100 objects, spanning centuries, media and artistic styles. It can be seen March 10 through May 21. With an emphasis on the community's passion for collecting art, there will be early American paintings, contemporary sculpture, icons of modern photography, Impressionist canvases and hallmarks of Art Deco design. Artists represented in Milwaukee Collects include Jules Chéret, Roy Lichtenstein, Ed Ruscha, John Sloan, Thomas Sully, Edward Weston and many others. Many of the artists are represent- ed in the museum's Collection Galleries, filled with art collected over 130 years. "The works of art at the Museum are a direct expression of our city's culture, reflecting interests of the people who reside here," the Donna and Donald Baumgartner Director Marcelle Polednik said. "As an institution, we've been won- derfully shaped by the collecting interests of the community, and that's evident in what hangs on our walls and is stored in our vaults." Milwaukee Collects follows last year's renovation and reinstallation of the Collection Galleries. New to the museum, Polednik was inspired by the breadth and depth of Milwaukee's collecting interests. Among the work are decorative arts, German art, text-based art and contemporary art with a focus on work by the Chicago Imagists. "Milwaukee's collectors have very care- fully considered and built their collec- tions based on their personal interests and unique artistic eye," Polednik said. "While we inherently knew Milwaukee as an active collecting community, we were time and again pleasantly surprised by the deliberation and great care with which these collections were built." 16 • Milwaukee County Post • March 24, 2017 Housecalls Thick/Fungus Nails Ingrown Nails Corns/Calluses SENIOR FOOT CARE IN YOUR HOME After 35 years of treating patients in his office Dr. Thomas Marciniak is devoting his practice to exclusively housecalls. Getting to the doctor has often been the reason why minor foot problems have become major problems among our senior population and Dr. Marciniak has decided providing "routine" foot care in the patient's home is the best way to combat the problem of accessibility. "Routine" isn't routine if you are diabetic, or if you have poor circulation or if you don't have the strength, vision or flexibility to properly take care of your feet by yourself. His services are covered by Medicare in most cases and his office accepts Medicare assignment. If you no longer drive or have to depend on someone else for transportation, Dr. Marciniak will be happy to see you in the safety and comfort of your own home or apartment.
