Artwork by the late Fritz Scholder, who attended UW-Superior as a freshman
in 1956-1957 before his family moved to the Southwest, is the subject of a
comprehensive exhibit by the National Museum of the American Indian in
Washington, D.C., and its George Gustav Heye Center in New York. More than 135
pieces from his 40-year career are featured. In its news release, the NMAI
described Scholder as "one of the most transformative artists of the last half
century." Scholder took basic art courses at UW-Superior and recalled in his
online biography studying with Art Kruk, Jim Grittner and Richard Gorski. In
1993, the university presented Scholder with an honorary doctor of humane
letters degree in recognition of his career achievements. Both NMAI exhibitions begin Nov. 1, ending May 17, 2009, in New York and Aug. 16,
2009, in Washington.
