COOPERSTOWN – Exhibits of Keith Haring and Ansel Adams artworks have been postponed until 2021, according to a release from the Fenimore Art Museum.
“Keith Haring: Radiant Vision,” “Manzanar: The Wartime Photographs of Ansel Adams” and “The World of Jan Brett” were all postponed, as were the Glimmerglobe Theatre’s productions of “The Tempest: and “A Moon for the Misbegotten.”
“These exhibitions represented the core of our 2020 season,” said the Fenimore. “They are now expected to draw large numbers to the area next spring and summer.”
COOPERSTOWN – The Fenimore Art Museum is crediting Ansel Adams, Toulouse-Lautrec, and James Whistler exhibits with a 42.8 percent increase (as of yesterday) in paid visitors this season.
“An average of 7,440 people visited the museum each month since its opening on April 1,” Todd Kenyon, director of marketing and communications, announced today. “We’re well on our way to surpass our record-breaking season of 44,000 visitors in 2004 which featured an amazing Winslow Homer exhibition.”
COOPERSTOWN – The Fenimore Art Museum’s weekly “Food for Thought” luncheon lectures will start up again next week with Michelle Murdock, director of exhibitions, discussing Ansel Adams, whose “Early Works” exhibit opened April 1.
The first Food for Thought will be Wednesday, April 13, and all run from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. Pre-registration required; call 547-1461. $22 for NYSHA members; $25 for non-members.
