ARTFIXdaily e-newsletter service will resume on June 7 with a look ahead at summer 2021 exhibitions and art events. Of note for those traveling in the Berkshires, the Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, Mass., will present the first North American museum exhibition focused on the Norwegian painter Nikolai Astrup (1880–1928), who deftly wove tradition and innovation into his artistic production. Astrup is considered one of Norway’s most important artists, yet he is largely unknown outside .
PEORIA After a lot of wrestling and sweating by work crews, a massive and infamous painting has been maneuvered to a new home. Nymphs and Satyr, the risque artwork that almost got whacked by Carrie Nation s hatchet, is now on display at WTVP, 101 State St., Peoria s Public Broadcasting Service station. The move of the cumbersome piece brings the 9- by 12-foot painting back into the public eye after years of oft-darkness. I m just thrilled we have the space to put it up, said Lesley Matuszak, CEO of the station. It s enormous.
So is its value as a curious and bawdy chunk of Peoria history.
