Georgia Museum of Art | Exhibitions

This installation of works from the museum’s permanent collection, plus a few select items on loan from private collections, will be on view during the Fourth Henry D. Green Symposium of the Decorative Arts, “A Colorful Past: Decorative Arts of Georgia,” scheduled for February 22-23, 2008. The installation will feature decorative arts from Georgia and the South made in the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries, including several recent additions to the museum’s permanent collection: a Neoclassical Pembroke table from the lower southern Piedmont, a Victorian lawn urn by Stevens Brothers & Company made near Milledgeville and a lidded jar by contemporary Athens ceramist Ron Meyers. The selection highlights the museum’s dedication to building a significant collection of decorative arts from Georgia and illustrates the increasing breadth and ongoing quality of that collection.
