In Cedarburg Art Museum’s exhibition “Eye of the Beholder: African Americans Collecting Art” the pieces are each unique aside from the fact that they are all on loan from various African American collectors.
Evelyn Patricia Terry, the guest curator for the exhibition, said that art and the collecting of art is subjective.
During the time it took to curate “Eye of the Beholder” Terry joked that if all else failed, she had enough pieces for a display.
It’s a nod to 24 collectors who agreed to share pieces from their collection for an exhibition that now has 70 artworks.
A lot of the pieces featured in the exhibition are pieces that are culturally relevant to that collector, Terry said.
