In Our Time: Houston's Contemporary Arts Museum
1948-1982
This publication accompanied an exhibition designed to
solicit information about and document the history of the Contemporary
Arts Museum over its first 34 years, charting the growth of
the museum from its founding by a group of Houston citizens
committed to bringing contemporary art to the city. The assembly,
codification and organization of scattered records, many still
in the hands of volunteers, resulted in the establishment of
an archive for the Museum. Includes a history of the institution
by Cheryl A. Brutvan, Marti Mayo and Linda L. Cathcart and
a preliminary exhibition history. (See also, Finders/Keepers,
a later and more complete publication on the Museum.)
1982. 78 pages, 45 black-and-white reproductions. ISBN

northern Idaho landscape to evoke fantastic, otherworldly
imagery. Includes an essay by Carla Stellwig; documentation
on the artist’s career.
