Currier Gallery, Manchester, NH

A superb small museum, and an exceptional permanent collection.
I was up in Manchester  to meet with Barbara, Bill, Matt, Katie, and friends, and I stopped by the museum first.
Here is some of the collection.

Peter Voulkos
"Anstom"  1973



Rick Ayotte


Rafael Lozano-Hemmer
"1984x1984"  2014
"Big Brother is Watching You"
The lighter figure is myself, caught by camera and inserted in the image.


Faig Ahmed
"Siddharta Goutoma"  2017
I simply can't imagine how this was done.  The carpet on the wall is real, but
as it decomposes, the colors wind up as flowing rivers of color.
How did he do that?


Betty Woodman
"Janome Pillow Pitcher"


Theodore Roszak
"Cradle Song"  1956


Hannes Beckmann
"Ruine" (Ruin)  1935


Hans Otte Orlowski
"The  Proud One" (Die Stolze)  1931




Ethan Murrow
"Hauling"  
Ethan Murrow has taken the bare walls of this room at the Currier, and using a 
Sharpie pen, had created these very large works on the walls.  
It is fascinating, and brilliant.
