9-28-20 marian university art works

The Kohler Foundation has donated a collection of more than 400 works of art to the permanent collection of Marian University, to be displayed on campus and used for teaching purposes.   Marian will receive paintings and sketchbooks  from artist Judith Roth, a Boston native,  whose works have been exhibited across the U.S.,  32 works by artist John Colt, a Madison native, whose work was exhibited in several exhibitions throughout the world, and prints by artist Georg Vihos, whose work has appeared repeatedly in exhibitions at the Detroit Institute of Arts and The Art Institute of Chicago.  “We are pleased to include works of artists like John Colt, Judith Roth, and Georg Vihos in this gift to Marian University, as we know the power that art can have, not only in building community, but also offering connection to community members who encounter it,” said Laura Roenitz, the Kohler Foundation executive director. “We are honored to be giving Marian a diverse collection for all to enjoy.”    The gifts will arrive at Marian University in several stages starting this month, as some of the work is undergoing conservation in Chicago.
