The Washington Project for the Arts\Corcoran
Five Curators and Their Visions

Artists and collectors turned out for the annual Washington Project for the Arts\Corcoran (WPAC) 2005 Art Auction and Gala at the Corcoran Gallery of Art on March 5. Guests enjoyed dinner, a silent auction and reception which benefited WPAC activities, including exhibits, film series, and lectures throughout the city. Magnificent works were selected by five curators; University of Richmond curator Elizabeth Schlatter; gallery owner Sally Troyer; and artists Spencer Tunick, Bertram Ulrich and Makoto Fujimura. Curator Fujimura chose works, which portray “grace and integration”, both in materials and form by artists such as Chris Anderson and Cynthia Knott, who force viewers to negotiate between abstract and representation through their work. Troyer chose pieces by artists with a wide variety of media and technical sophistication, including a textured landscape from Elizabeth Roberts Dalgard and a glowing abstraction by Madalyn Marcus.
