Selections from the Mary B. Finnigan Collection at The Haggerty Museum of Art

Starts at 12:00 AM on May 8th, 2012
From the Haggerty Museum of Art:

Selections from the Mary B. Finnigan Collection includes select works from the permanent collection purchased with funds provided by the Mary B. Finnigan Art Endowment Fund. The exhibition will include paintings by Lovis Corinth, Jean Fautrier, Wifredo Lam, and Jacob Lawrence, among others. A longtime supporter and Friend of the Haggerty Museum of Art board member, in 1991 Mary Finnigan gave a major gift to the museum to establish the art endowment fund, enabling the museum to collect significant 20th-Century American and European artworks. Over the past twenty years, the Finnigan fund has brought 13 art gifts to the Haggerty collection.

Since it opened on the Marquette University campus in 1984, The Haggerty Museum of Art has dedicated itself to being an integral part of the educational experiences offered at the university and to providing a rich variety of art to the Milwaukee community, with visibility on a national and international level. As a university museum, the Haggerty sponsors lectures, symposia, workshops, and tours to interpret the arts to its various audiences.
