Subject of Jack Maher's book is focus of Art Museum exhibit
Published on 3/9/2024
The legacy and philosophy of collecting established by Eric Douglas is the subject of the Denver Art Museum’s exhibit, “Weaving a Foundation: Cornerstones of the Textile Arts Collection.” Douglas, the first curator of the museum’s Native Arts Department, is the focus of his grandson Jack Maher's book, “Poppy: A Novel About A Colorful Colorado Life.” Maher said he is proud to say his grandfather's influence continues to inform Denver Art Museum practices today. Two thirds of the objects now on view in the exhibit have never been shown. The show is on view through January 5, 2025.
