Jane Davis Doggett: Talking Graphics
January 26–March 7, 2010
The special installation Jane Davis Doggett: Talking Graphics features the work of Jane Davis Doggett, M.F.A. 1956, who is known for her career in creating graphic identities and wayfinding systems for massive public spaces, including 40 international airports. Doggett recently invented the concept of IconoChrome™ images—“geometric designs in colors expressing philosophically profound messages.” Her series Talking Graphics consists of these colorful designs, converted to vector images and printed as books and large panels. Images from the series are installed at the Gallery in conjunction with a January 28 Artist Talk presented by Doggett, followed by a book signing.

Permanent Collection
Ongoing
The Yale University Art Gallery’s permanent collection includes over 185,000 works. While the Swartwout building undergoes renovation, the entire third floor of the Kahn building is reinstalled, displaying works from the collections of European art, modern and contemporary art, American paintings and sculpture, and American decorative arts. The Gallery’s collections of ancient art and coins and medals have also relocated for the duration of the renovation, with a few key works installed in the Mayer Lobby. The second-floor galleries continue to showcase African and Asian art. Selections from each department are also featured here. Brief informative texts offer a curatorial perspective for each of the works, many of which are currently on view.
