Alice Hutchins: Arenas for Happenings:
Exhibition Checklist

 

Alice Hutchins: Arenas for Happenings is composed of a broad cross-section of the artist's assemblages dating from the late 1960s to the present, alongside a representative sampling of her two dimensional "altered masterpieces" of the mid-1960s. All works were donated to Alternative Traditions in the Contemporary Arts (ATCA) by the artist. Although ATCA serves as the primary public repository for her works and papers, Hutchins' "playthings," boxed multiples, magnetic assemblages and "altered masterpieces" are also represented in numerous other collections including the Queensland Art Gallery (Brisbane, Australia), The University of California, Berkeley Museum of Art, the Walker Art Center (Minneapolis), the Staatsgalerie (Stuttgart, Germany), the Museums of Modern Art in New York City and Belgrade (Yugoslavia), Dartmouth College's Hood Museum of Art (Hanover, New Hampshire), the Henie-Onstad Kunstsenter (Oslo, Norway) and the Tate Gallery (London, England), among others.

[Ed. note: This checklist, as was the exhibition, is presented in an order determined by the curators, not by Alice Hutchins].
