Dickinson students enrolled in the art-history senior seminar curate an exhibition and write a scholarly exhibition catalogue for selected paintings by Louisa Chase (1951-2016), on loan from the Hirschl & Adler (H&A) Modern gallery in New York City.

In collaboration with Eric W. Baumgartner ’79, a Dickinson art-history graduate and senior vice president and director of American paintings and sculpture at H&A, the students examine how Chase explored a variety of pictorial techniques and visual styles in her neo-Expressionist paintings.

Chase’s work is represented in the permanent collections of many prominent museums, including the Whitney Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Gallery of Art, the Baltimore Museum of Art and the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art.
