Logan Collection Heads East
Written by Ken Hamel

Vicki and Kent Logans' largess is moving east, to Poughkeepsie NY and the well endowed Vassar College Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center (Vicki is class of '68). The show is titled "Out of Shape: Stylistic Distortions of the Human Form in Art from the Logan Collection" and runs from March 14 – June 8, 2008 (plenty of time to make travel plans.)

The show features artist Francisco Clemente whose portrait of the Logans graced the entrance of the Radar show (until it was mysteriously replaced by a portrait of the pair by Eric Fischl) as well as (surprise) Gottfried Helnwein who was part of the Logan Lectures at the DAM last year.

From the press release:

Exhibitions of works from the Logan collection have previously been organized by and presented at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Denver Art Museum, the Aspen Art Museum, and The Victoria H. Myhren Gallery at the University of Denver. But Out of Shape is the first exhibition of the Logan collection to highlight the theme of figurative distortion and focus exclusively on the works on paper in the collection.

Thirty-five works on paper by 27 artists are presented in the exhibition, many of which have not been displayed publicly since they entered the Logan collection. Out of Shape will be shown Friday, March 14, 2008 through Sunday, June 8, 2008 at the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center, and will be exclusively exhibited at Vassar. One of the exhibiting artists will lecture at the museum's reception on Friday evening, April 25.
Artists on display include Kim Dingle, Nicole Eisenman, Fang Lijun, Moyna Flanagan, Antony Gormley, Gottfried Helwein, Kurt Kauper, Kelly McLane, Jason Middlebrook, Bruce Nauman, Manuel Neri, Richard Phillips, Mel Ramos, Thomas Schütte, Andy Warhol, John Wesley, and Su-en Wong.
