CU Art Galleries Exhibit at Broomfield Auditorium-Library
Garo Antreasian: Master Printmaker is the newest exhibit open to the public in the main lobby of the Broomfield Auditorium-Library complex in the City and County of Broomfield, Colorado. This exhibit is the second show of visual art in Broomfield’s newest cultural and educational facility.
The Garo Antreasian: Master Printmaker exhibit is open daily from June 4 through August 18 during regular library hours (Mon-Thu, 9 a.m. -9 p.m.; Fri, 9 a.m.-7p.m.; Sat, 9 a.m. -5 p.m.; and Sun, 1-5 p.m.). The building is closed on July 4.
The lobby exhibit area is located between the Broomfield Auditorium and the adjacent Mamie Doud Eisenhower Public Library at 3 Community Park Road northwest of Lamar and First Avenue in Broomfield, CO.
The Garo Antreasian: Master Printmaker exhibit is sponsored by the City and County of Broomfield Cultural Affairs Division, in conjunction with the CU Art Galleries-University of Colorado at Boulder which provided the text for the exhibit.
The exhibit features ten, colorful lithographs from the “Fragment Series” portfolio, spanning 28 years of Garo Antreasian’s career—an artist considered the most pivotal figure in the renaissance of American printmaking in the 1960s. The examples displayed in this exhibit reflect the artist’s training as an abstract expressionist painter and later influences of minimalist art and abstract imagery.
