The Boca Raton Museum of Art recently held its Patrons Preview Reception and the Members Opening Reception for Elvis at 21: Photographs by Alfred Wertheimer and Rememberingstanleyboxer: A Retrospective 1946-2000. The Elvis and Boxer exhibitions run through June 13, 2010. Guests mingled with artist Joyce Weinstein, widow of Stanley Boxer, and Heidi Wohlfeld, studio assistant and niece of Alfred Wertheimer, each of whom provided personal insight and intimate knowledge of the works. Joyce Weinstein is currently working on restoration of one of Boxer’s works in the Museum’s Permanent Collection and has an incredible wealth of technical and firsthand knowledge of Boxer’s work. For more on the Boxer restoration, see www.bocamuseum.org/blog
Elvis at 21: Photographs by Alfred Wertheimer
The exhibition presents large-format photographs that chronicle a remarkable time when Elvis Presley was 21 years old and presents an intimate narrative by the photographer, Alfred Wertheimer. These Wertheimer classic images represent the only candid photos taken of Elvis.
Elvis at 21: Photographs by Alfred Wertheimer was developed by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service, Govinda Gallery, and the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery, and is made possible through the generous support of HISTORY™.
Rememberingstanleyboxer: A Retrospective 1946-2000

He was best known for his large scale abstract paintings which have a rich sculptural quality produced by thick, impasto brushwork. This exhibition affords an opportunity to see 50 paintings and 13 sculptures dating from 1946 through 2000.
Rememberingstanleyboxer: A Retrospective 1946-2000 is curated by Elizabeth Stevens, former Director of Exhibitions, Salander O'Reilly Galleries, New York City. Organized by the University of Richmond Museums in collaboration with the Housatonic Museum of Art, Bridgeport, Connecticut and the Boca Raton Museum of Art.
