Exhibition of rare Paul
Gauguin Paintings
In another exciting development, our museum will be exhibiting an
important collection of Paul Gauguin paintings, sculptures
and ceramics from the collection of Mr. Richard Kelton
in early 2006. These important art works are of particular interest
to us because they exhibit influences on Gauguin’s work from
Asia and Pacific cultures. Several of the works have never been
publicly exhibited and others have not been seen in the last 50
years or more. We are indebted to Mr. Kelton and the Kelton Foundation
for lending works for this extremely important exhibition by one
of the greatest masters of all time, Paul Gauguin. Also of note,
the museum is working with Mr. and Mrs. Robert Snukal on an exciting
exhibition of their Chinese ceramics collection. That exhibition
is also scheduled to be in 2006. Approximately 100 superb ceramics
from their important collection will be selected.
