Fall Art Celebration - Cyril Lixenberg: An Artist's Journey
Fall Arts Celebration Opening Reception September 11, 2013
Friday, August 23 Friday, November 1, 2013 - Cyril
Lixenberg: an Artist’s Journey explored and celebrated 81 years
of the life and work of the popular contemporary Dutch artist Cyril
Lixenberg, whose monumental sculpture and eye-popping, colorful screen
prints are exhibited throughout GVSU’s buildings and campuses. The
exhibition featured new gifts of paintings and works on paper
including drawings, mono-prints, print editions, small sculptures, and
archival material spanning his early career as a struggling and
evolving artist from the mid-1950s to the present. Multiple
exhibition venues across West Michigan simultaneously focused on
particular aspects of Lixenberg’s art. The venues were the Grand
Rapids Art Museum, Muskegon Museum of Art, Calvin College, Center Art
Gallery, and Saugatuck Center for the Arts. The exhibit program was
supported by a generous gift from Larry and Elaine Ritowski Shay and,
in part, by public funds from the Consulate General of the Netherlands
in New York and a grant from the Netherland-American Foundation.
