Los Caprichos is a set of 80 etchings produced by
Francisco de Goya y Lucientes in 1799 that is considered
one of the most influential series of images in the history of
Western art. This exhibition was organized by Landau
Traveling Exhibitions, Los Angeles, CA in association with
Denenberg Fine Art, West Hollywood, CA.

American artists. This exhibition is sponsored by the New

The Paintings of Louis Comfort Tiffany:
Works from a Long Island Collection
Drawn from a spectacular Long Island collection, this exhibition
showcases more than 100 original works by Louis Comfort
Tiffany, offering an uncommon glimpse into the artist’s personal
world. Tiffany’s light-filled Orientalism and his use of sensuous
Art Nouveau lines contrasted sharply with the era’s prevailing
dark Victorian décor and had a powerful influence on the
evolving aesthetics of the wealthy and famous of the Gilded Age.

Members Socialize at Exhibition Preview Party
Outdoors at the Museum
Museum members found much to celebrate as they previewed three exciting new
exhibitions: Richard Avedon: Photographer of Influence, Josef Albers—Formulation:
Articulation and Robert Hite: Imagined Histories. Avedon’s photographs demonstrated
how he revolutionized the way celebrities and fashion are depicted, while the silkscreened prints by Albers revealed his explorations into the complex interrelationships
of color. Hite’s photographs and sculpture proved so popular that the showing was
expanded from the Contemporary Gallery to the Art Space for Children.
SCULPTURE PARK
More than 40 works, many of them
monumental in size, by renowned artists
including Fernando Botero, Tom
Otterness, George Rickey and Mark
DiSuvero among others are situated to

EDUCATION
The museum’s education department is a
valuable resource for Long Island’s teaching
community. Teachers from the Half Hollow
Hills School District recently spent a day
learning how the museum’s exhibitions and
grounds relate to various curricular areas in
ways that can enhance student learning.
Robert Hite’s works, exploring recycled
materials in relationship to the natural
environment, were a springboard for
artmaking by fourth graders from the
Seaford Harbor Elementary School.
Family Photo Day, inspired by the work
of Richard Avedon, was a great hit with
youngsters. They trotted out their best
smiles for the lens of photographer Sol
Aramendi.
Director of Education Laura Lynch
guides students from the Portledge
School in Locust Valley through the
museum’s exhibition of paintings by
Milton Avery.
First graders from The Children’s Storefront in New York City visited the museum
thanks to Amb. Arnold A. Saltzman, the founding president of the museum’s Board
of Trustees. They enjoyed a guided tour of the exhibitions and engaged in art
activities inspired by what they had seen. Drawing is by first grader Jayden R.
Educational Programs at the Museum are
Made Possible through the Generosity of:
Ryan Hason, a participant in the
museum’s Autism and the Arts
program, in the galleries with his
mother, Lori.

Chaired by Contemporary Gallery
exhibition organizer Elaine Berger and
Carol Wolowitz, the CCC offers a unique
opportunity to acquire an insider’s view of
contemporary art. Not only does the
group work to develop a greater
understanding of art, but it also raises
funds to acquire works of art for the
Museum’s permanent collection.
Recently, the CCC enjoyed a private,
docent-led tour of exhibitions at the
Brooklyn Museum of Art featuring Fred
Tomaselli, as well as Women Pop Artists:
1958-1968. The group participated in a
walking tour of several galleries in the
Chelsea District, and held a private
cocktail reception at Salamatina Gallery,
exhibiting the works of acclaimed
contemporary artist, Nina Levy.
