TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – The Sarah Moody Gallery of Art at The University of Alabama is presenting the work of abstract artists enjoying national and international reputation in the exhibition “Watercolor: In the Abstract.”

The exhibition opens Nov. 1, 2002, and will run through Dec. 15, 2002. The exhibition addresses a lesser-known side of the watercolor medium and offers a rare opportunity to observe a variety of visual ideas captured in the immediacy of watercolor by some premier American and European painters of the 20th – 21st centuries.

“Watercolor: In the Abstract” includes works by Kim Anno, Richmond Burton, Louise Fishman, Gunther Forg, Sam Gilliam, Al Held, Ian Hughes, Suzanne Joelson, Betsy Kaufmann, Martin Kline, Sol Lewitt, Eva Lundsager, Melissa Meyer, Ed Moses, Laurie Reid, Gerhard Richter, Peter Schyuff, Sean Scully, Sara Sosnowy, Richard Tuttle, Juan Usle and Jerry Zeniuk.

Curatorial support and tour organization for the exhibit comes from Alexandra Muse, Seattle, Wash., and Pamela Auchincloss/Arts Management, New York.

Funding support for the Sarah Moody Gallery of Art comes from the College of Arts & Sciences at The University of Alabama. Gallery hours are weekdays from 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. and Sunday 2 p.m. – 5 p.m.

The College of Arts and Sciences is UA’s largest division and the largest public liberal arts college in the state, with approximately 5,000 undergraduate and 1,000 graduate students. The College has received national recognition for academic excellence, and A&S students have been selected for many of the nation’s top academic honors, including 15 Rhodes Scholarships, 13 Goldwater Scholarships, seven Truman Scholarships and 11 memberships on USA Today’s Academic All-American teams.
