This major exhibition will bring together glass, jewelry, production molds, and design drawings by René Lalique (French, 1860-1945), dating from about 1893 to Lalique’s death in 1945. As a successful jeweler Lalique experimented with glass in his designs, which eventually led to a career in which he fully embraced the material. His aesthetic choices in his designs informed the styles of Art Nouveau and Art Deco in France, and the objects he created have become iconic reflections of these periods. Lalique also embraced industrial innovations, like mass production, allowing luxury glass to be placed in more and more households around the world.

In the late 19th century and early 20th century, René Lalique’s jewelry, and then his beautifully designed glass objects and vessels, made him an influential figure in the Art Nouveau and Art Deco movements. His work was acclaimed at the international industrial expositions, particularly the 1900 and 1925 Paris Expositions. Designing for a New Century: Works on Paper by Lalique and His Contemporaries surveys the extraordinary glass art created by Lalique and his European contemporaries, including Marinot, Herbst, Gallé, and Val St. Lambert, through design drawings, trade catalogs, period photographs, and rare books from the Rakow Library’s special collections.

Harmless Hunter: Charles M. Russell's Wildlife Art

Space is limited - Reservations are required and must be made by 5 p.m. on September 17th.

Known as the “Cowboy Artist,” Russell nevertheless painted, drew, and sculpted various western animals, among them the grizzly bear, the deer, and the buffalo, throughout his long and storied career. Russell’s works also address more problematic environmental themes like the rapid changes wrought by the onset of settlement, economic development, and near decimation of wild game in the American West. This exhibition will feature over 40 works of art by Charles M. Russell.

The evening will start promptly at 5:30 p.m. when guests will have the opportunity to hear from Adam Harris, Petersen Curator of Art and Research at the National Museum of Wildlife Art.
