Dear Intuit friends, When in-person museum visits were impossible for much of last year, I was enthusiastic to extend a loan of my collection at Intuit. The extension helped to accommodate hundreds of people who couldn’t see the exhibition Outsider Art: The Collection of Victor F. Keen during the months when Intuit was closed due to COVID. As a result, museum guests expressed feeling connection, acceptance and enjoyment transcending those at many other art museums.
Silen Auction Item: Robert Bellio. Candelabra, n.d. Repurposed auto-parts, magnifying glass and machine parts. Gift of Paula and Gordon Addington.
I’m honored to chair the 2022 Visionary Ball, and to toast with you, Intuit friends, my longtime art mentor and loyal friend Frank Maresca, this year’s Visionary Awardee.
