Haggerty Museum of Art at Marquette University presents four new exhibitions

MILWAUKEE, WI.- The Haggerty Museum of Art on the campus of Marquette University will feature four exhibitions from January 18 through May 20, 2012 including The Europeans Photographs by Tina Barney; Philip Guston Inevitable Finality, The Gemini G.E.L. Prints; John Stezaker Marriage; and Selections from the Mary B. Finnigan Collection that features works from the Haggerty’s permanent collection. The Europeans Photographs by Tina Barney provides an intimate look at wealthy Europeans at home through the eyes of American photographer Tina Barney (b. 1945). Known for her large, lush and colorful photographs, Barney began capturing images of friends and family in 1975 and quickly gained art-world attention for her often candid, tableau-like images. To produce the works in the exhibition, Barney embarked on her own modern version of the Grand Tour of Europe between 1996 and 2004. She traveled to Austria, Italy, England,
