Marywood Art Galleries

The Maslow Study Gallery for Contemporary Art

The Maslow Study Gallery is a learning laboratory, providing fieldwork experiences, internships, and opportunities in curatorial and exhibition studies to Marywood students. Works in The Maslow Collection are available for professional research and study, and many are loaned to regional and national exhibitions.

The Maslow Collection is the largest and most comprehensive collection of Contemporary art in Northeastern Pennsylvania, with over 700 works by more than 150 artists. Collected by Marilyn and Richard Maslow and originally housed at InterMetro Industries, it is now on long-term loan to Marywood University.

The largest part of the Collection is devoted to paintings by newly established or emerging artists working or exhibiting in New York during the late 1970s through the early 1990s, such as David Reed, Terry Winters, Nicholas Africano, Robert Cumming, James Biederman, Jack Goldstein, Melissa Meyer, Gary Lang, Anthony Sorce, Edward Henderson, and Katherine Porter, among many others.

The Collection also includes major prints and works on paper by Jasper Johns, Frank Stella, Robert Rauschenberg, James Rosenquist, Roy Lichtenstein, Jim Dine, Robert Longo, Chuck Close, Sherrie Levine, Edward Ruscha, Jane Hammond, Peter Halley, Sol LeWitt, and Andy Warhol, among others; and important photographs by Bernd and Hilla Becher, Barbara Kasten, Lee Friedlander, Sandy Skoglund, and Mark Cohen. 

The Maslow Collection has loaned works to major exhibitions at the Whitney Museum of American Art in NYC; The Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, DC; the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego, CA; P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center, Queens, NY; and the University of the Arts, Philadelphia, PA; among others.

The Collection is, at its core, a learning laboratory that provides exhibitions, dialogue, fieldwork experience, internships, and other opportunities in curatorial studies. Access begins with all Marywood Art Department students, who interact directly with the Collection as an enhancement of their course content (exhibitions are frequently co-curated by faculty members), and extends to Arts Administration students in a more in-depth way, as well as the larger community as a major resource through loans and events.

ROCHELLE FEINSTEIN

The Marywood University Art Department DISTINGUISHED VISITING ARTIST LECTURE SERIES presented a lecture by New York painter/ multi-media artist ROCHELLE FEINSTEIN on Wednesday March 1st at 4:00 pm. This special event took place in the Maslow Study Gallery for Contemporary Art in the Shields Visual Arts Center at Marywood, and will be followed by a reception. Rochelle Feinstein is a contemporary American visual artist that makes abstract paintings, prints, video, sculpture, and installations that explore language and contemporary culture. Her work cannot be easily categorized, due to the way she employs various styles and mediums, and it typically responds with wit and bite to American Culture. Feinstein was one of the first women to be granted tenure at Yale University in the Visual Arts, and became professor emerita in 2017.

THE MASLOW STUDY GALLERY FEATURES TEACHING EXHIBIT WITH ORIGINAL ARTWORK

Selected pieces include examples of modern photography, minimalism, pop art, and contemporary art created by featured artists Berenice Abbott, John Beerman, Ant Farm, Jasper Johns, Gary Lang, Wright Morris, Dorothea Rockburne, Frank Stella, and Andy Warhol.
