Collectors' Series to Offer January 29 Lectures at the BMA
Evergreen House is instituting a new program entitled The
Collectors'
Series, to celebrate the history of collecting by two
generations of Garretts that
resided at Evergreen from 1878 to 1952 and to shed new light on
the significance of the
collections they amassed during that time. As part of this new
program, Jay McKean
Fisher and Susan Dackerman, senior curator and associate curator
of prints, drawings
and photographs at the Baltimore
Museum of
Art, respectively, will each present a lecture on Friday,
January 29, at noon at Evergreen House, 4545 North Charles
Street.
The lectures, "George Lucas: A Nineteenth Century Collector
of Contemporary
Art," by Jay Fisher and "Building A Collection: The Garrett Print
Collection of the
BMA," by Susan Dackerman will reveal more about T. Harrison
Garrett as a 19th century
collector of prints by looking at the collecting habits of George
Lucas, a contemporary of
T. Harrison Garrett's and analyzing prints in the BMA's Garrett
Print Collection to
understand the full nature of the collection and its collector.
Lunch with the speakers will
follow the talks.
Admission to the January 29 lectures and lunch is $20 for Evergreen members and $25 for non-members. Reservations are required. Call 410-516-0341 for more information or to make reservations.
