A little more than a week from today, on Wednesday, November 4, at 6:30 p.m., Francis Naumann will be giving the museum's Alfred Heber Holbrook Lecture in the UGA Chapel on North Campus, to be followed by a reception in the Visual Arts Building on Jackson Street, where GMOA's offices are located temporarily during construction. Naumann is the author of numerous articles, exhibition catalogues and books, including, most recently, “Conversion to Modernism: The Early Work of Man Ray” (Rutgers University Press, 2002). He currently owns and operates his own gallery in New York City. Previously Naumann was an independent scholar and curator. Francis Naumann Fine Art specializes in 20th-century American art as well as European art from the Dada and Surrealist movements, and Naumann's lecture, "Marcel Duchamp and Jeff Koons: An Exercise in Circular Reasoning," addresses his area of expertise. The Alfred Heber Holbrook Memorial Lecture is an annual event sponsored by the Friends of the Georgia Museum of Art. The lecture began in the late 1970s after the death of Holbrook, who founded GMOA in 1945 with a gift of 100 paintings in honor of his wife Eva Underhill Holbrook. He also served as the first director of GMOA past his 90th birthday. The lecture normally takes place in November to coincide with Eva's birth month. We are very excited to have a lecturer of Naumann's caliber, and the lecture is free and open to the public. We really hope you can make it, and if you'd like to give us a call to RSVP at 706.542.0830, we'd appreciate it, even though it's not necessary.
