May, 12th – Jan 6th, 2013:  SHARKS

After the successful exhibitions Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharoahs, American Chronicles: The Art of Norman Rockwell, Vatican Splendors: A Journey through Faith and Art, the new presentation is all about SHARKS.

Long before humans first appeared on Earth, sharks were swimming the seas. They predate dinosaurs by about 200 million years and were revered by ancient human societies as gods. Sharks come in all shapes and sizes. There are angel sharks, basking sharks, blues sharks, bull sharks, gray sharks, lemon sharks, sleeper sharks, and tiger sharks, among many other varieties. Not only are they found in every ocean of the world, but in many rivers and lakes as well.

This major exhibition has been organized by the Museum of Art in association with Nova Southeastern University’s Oceanographic Center.It is guest curated by acclaimed wildlife artist, author and environmentalist Richard Ellis, who is working to bring together both art and science in documenting the world’s never-ending fascination with these celebrated creatures of the sea.

In addition to drawings of all the known varieties of sharks in the world, the exhibition contains photographs, sculptures, and video as well as a section devoted to the sensational impact of the 1975 Steven Spielberg film Jaws. In recent years, attention has turned to protecting the habitats of these magnificent animals and the exhibition documents advances made those areas as well, including the July 2011 banning of all commercial shark fishing by the island nation of the Bahamas.

Curator Richard Ellis says: “It will include photographs, films, sculpture, and posters, as well as paintings and reproductions representing the work of Winslow Homer, Charles R. Knight, and many contemporary shark painters, including Guy Harvey, Alexis Rockman, Ray Troll, Don Ray, Stanley Meltzoff, and me. The Metropolitan Museum of Art (NY) has generously loaned us their copy of John Singleton Copley’s “Watson and the Shark.” We also have an original painting by Roger Kastel, who did the most famous shark painting in recent history, the steak-knife-toothed shark on the cover of Jaws. We won’t be able to exhibit Damien Hirst’s tiger shark, but we will show a video of it, and include one of his recent multiples of a tiger shark jaw. We have shark sculptures made of rubber tires, automobile hubcaps, bronze, stainless steel, and found materials, as well as a table made by a Los Angeles sculptor in the shape of a shark.I’ve arranged to get 128 paintings from Princeton University Press’s Sharks of the World, by Marc Dando, to illustrate the diversity of sharks; and a filmmaker in California is providing sensational footage of various shark species underwater. We will be exhibiting the photographs of David Doubilet, Chris Fallows, Rodney Fox, Ron and Valerie Taylor, and Douglas Seifert. We are also planning to exhibit artifacts such as the shark-tooth club in the Peabody Essex Museum and another from the Bishop Museum in Honolulu, and various shark-related artifacts from The American Museum of Natural History’s anthropological collection. I’ve commissioned a 50-foot long Megalodon balloon, based on my drawing, that will sit on the roof of the museum in Florida.I will be writing a comprehensive catalog which will include the artifacts, paintings, posters, etc. but will also be book of about the place of sharks in our culture and in our lives.”

The exhibition includes two pieces by French artist Pascal: his signature masterpiece The Matador (“Corrida III”, original oil on canvas, 48″x 40″, 2006) and “Colosseus Watching”, about whale-shark watching, an original oil on canvas, 30″x 40″, 2006.
First appearance of French artist Pascal in an American Museum.

His artworks have been exhibited in exhibitions organised by curators in France: Musée des Capucins, COULOMMIERS in 1996: exhibition “Ex Voto”, and 2000: exhibition “Grids and Lights”, and at the Musée Bossuet, Meaux in 2001-2: exhibition: “Homage to Arnold Böcklin’s “Isle of the Dead”.
