Private Eyes: Amateur Works from The Kinsey Institute Collection
January 22 – April 2, 2010
Anonymous prison inmate, United States, mid 20th century
Standing, topless woman Graphite on brown paper Private Eyes: Amateur Works from The Kinsey Institute Collection explores the unique characteristics of homemade erotic artifacts. These one-of-a-kind items include drawings, paintings, carved figures, handmade cards, scrapbooks, and altered coins from The Kinsey Institute’s permanent collection of art. These “artworks” were intended for private consumption and created with specific individuals in mind, unlike mass-produced, commercially distributed pornography. To date, these materials have received scant scholarly or sociological attention, and The Kinsey Institute is displaying the majority of these items for the first time. Read more about the show in the Curators' statement » Public reception: Friday, January 22, from 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm.
A Collector's Vision
April 9 - September 3, 2010
Édouard Chimot (1880-1959), France
Untitled, mid 20th century Etching 2002.16.118 Donated in 2002 In 2002, an anonymous American collector generously donated more than six hundred original artworks to The Kinsey Institute. This exhibition features more than 60 pieces from this significant collection, including paintings, prints, and drawings by known and anonymous European artists working in the late eighteenth through mid-twentieth century. Unlike most Kinsey Institute exhibitions that display artworks acquired from a wide variety of sources, this show provides visitors with the opportunity to view a unique collection that reflects the connoisseurship of a single individual. Featured artists include Suzanne Ballivet, Franz von Bayros, Louis-André Berthommé de Saint-André, Charles Chaplin, Édouard Chimot, Jean Cocteau, Dominique Vivant Denon, Jules Pascin, and Fédor Rojankovsky (aka Rojan).
