OREGON COLLECTION OF UC DAVIS ART ON EXHIBIT AT ROBERT MONDAVI WINERY
[Editor's note: Image of Thiebaud print available on request.]
The Robert Mondavi Winery in Oakville is hosting an exclusive exhibition of prints by some of this century's most acclaimed artists, all with ties to the art department at UC Davis. The prints come from the vast collection of Oregon art patron and philanthropist Jordan D. Schnitzer and his Portland, Ore.-based family foundation.
Schnitzer, in partnership with Margrit Mondavi, created the exhibit to bring attention to the strength and legacy of the art department at UC Davis. Featured for the first time in one exhibit will be some 30 pieces by Wayne Thiebaud, William T. Wiley, Roy De Forest, Robert Arneson, John Buck, Bruce Nauman, David Gilhooly, Squeak Carnwath and Christopher Brown. With the exception of Thiebaud, who still teaches at UC Davis, all are former faculty or students of the Department of Art.
The "UC Davis @ Robert Mondavi" exhibit will be open to the public by appointment from Sunday, April 27, through Thursday, May 15. The exhibit is free. To view the collection, please contact the winery at
(707) 968-2200.
