Wayne State University is proud to present the exhibition Detroit Collects, Part 1: The Nature of
Art at its Elaine L. Jacob Gallery from September 25 through December 18, 2009. With forty
works, most of which were created after 1980, this exhibition illustrates the diversity of abstract
and representational artwork still being created by artists inspired by the natural world – a
realm that has fascinated and influenced artists throughout the ages and across the globe. The
artworks included, many on view for the first time, have been culled from the private
collections of Detroit metropolitan area collectors Burt Aaron, Gayle and Andrew Camden,
and Marian and Stephan Loginsky. The Elaine L. Jacob Gallery strives to present thought
provoking and diverse exhibitions comprised of art of the highest artistic merit.
The Elaine L. Jacob Gallery is located at 480 W. Hancock,
between Cass and Second, in Detroit, on the campus of Wayne State University. Metered
street parking is available, and is free after 6:00 PM.
