Valentine's Day is around the corner, and love is in the air -- as well as in a number of our traveling exhibitions. Romance between artists lies behind the scenes in our Under the Mexican Sky, Weston's Women and even Photo-Secession shows. Our Brassa? exhibition exposes passions hidden in the shadows of Paris. We showcase some of the first-ever photographed couples and erotic scenes in our Daguerreotype exhibition. We also offer "Wigstock," which speaks to the importance of protecting the right to love as you choose. Under the Mexican Sky: Vintage photographs by Edward Weston, Tina Modotti, Manuel Alvarez Bravo and colleagues Edward Weston traveled to Mexico City in the 1920s with his paramour and protégée, the Italian silent film star Tina Modotti. The trip would become meaningful for both of their artistic careers. Our exhibition features rare vintage Mexican masterworks by both Weston and Modotti from their time in Mexico, as well as stellar photographs from the 1930s by the Frenchman Henri Cartier-Bresson and by Mexico’s own Manuel ?lvarez Bravo. The Secret Paris of the 1930s: Vintage Photographs by Brassa? Transylvanian-born Brassa? is famous for his photographs taken after dark in the City of Light. Our unforgettable exhibition captures several creatures of the night, from mobsters and outcasts to prostitutes and pimps. He also secretly caught glamorous couples mid-conversation and passionate lovers in corner booths. His exploration of Paris is dreamlike, mysterious and certainly romantic. Daguerreotype Masterworks from the Dawn of Photography Invented in 1839, the daguerreotype presented the first opportunity to carry around the portrait of your loved one. Our exhibition features all major genres of daguerreotype, including a selection of couples and families, as well as erotic stereos. Our survey of the daguerreotype includes important examples from U.S., France, England and the Mideast. Weston's Women: Edward Weston and Cycles of Influence Throughout his career, Edward Weston surrounded himself with brilliant, accomplished women. His role was, variously, that of mentor, business partner, colleague, lover, friend and photographer. This exhibition celebrates the women on both sides of Weston's lens, including Margrethe Mather, Charis Wilson, Tina Modotti, Anita Brenner, Sonya Noskowiak, Dody Weston Thompson and Imogen Cunningham. Photo-Secession: Painterly Masterworks of Turn-of-the-Century Photography A passionate affair ensued not long after Alfred Stieglitz and Georgia O'Keeffe first met in 1916. Becoming lovers inspired a burst of creativity for Stieglitz, who made more than 140 photographs of O'Keeffe. Three of those images can be found in our Photo-Secession exhibition, which celebrates the creative forces who fought to establish photography as a fully-fledged fine art. Frida Kahlo, An Intimate Portrait:? The Photographic Albums The love story of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera involves lust, infidelity and heartbreak. They married in 1929, divorced in 1939 and then remarried the following year. Photographs of the couple are featured in an incredible exhibit that includes 98 images from Kahlo's own albums. The photos were taken by several high-profile artists including Manuel ?lvarez Bravo, Nickolas Muray and Tina Modotti. Wigstock: Photographs by Pierre Dalpé ?Canadian Photographer Pierre Dalpé documented Wigstock, an annual outdoor drag show in New York City, at the height of its popularity. At a time when queer people were experiencing overwhelming anxiety, hate and backlash because of the AIDS pandemic, Wigstock was a much-needed opportunity to express joy, strength and pride. Dalpé writes, "Despite the many gains the LGBTQ+ community has made in the past 30 years, we are still fighting for many of the same rights."

Happy Monday AAMG, Many of you know that I write educational content for our Artwork Archive blog. With my background in college art museums (and family in academia), I am particularly drawn to resources for our academic community. I recently published an article about how students engage with campus art collections. Big thanks to Davidson College and New Mexico State University for connecting me to their students so that I include eye-opening testimonials and examples. This article was such a joy to write. How Access to Campus Art Collections is Enriching the College Experience If anyone is looking for ways to increase student engagement or ways to make the case to get students more involved, hopefully this article can be of help! Cheers, Elysian Apologies for cross-posting with AAM & MCC-- Elysian McNiff Koglmeier (she/her) Head of Partnerships Artwork Archive https://www.artworkarchive.com Part Time Hours Online: Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays National Organization for Arts in Health (NOAH) Board Treasurer

Dear Colleagues, In my role as gallery director, I have been contacting artists to request a long-term (one-year) loan of outdoor sculptures to be displayed on our campus. Our new director of facilities has expressed his concern for the safety of our public artworks and asked me to write up a document, to be signed by the artist, stating that the university is not liable for any damage to their artworks. If you have any experience with this issue, and especially if you have such a document, I would love to hear from you. And if you have any “official” policy statement regarding public art on campus, it would be great if you can share it. Thank you in advance for your help.
