Roger Hayden Johnson currently has a painting - Rancho de Taos (2005) - featured in an exhibition at the Booth Western Art Museum in Cartersville, Georgia. The exhibition - "Western American Art South of the Sweet Tea Line" - runs from September 24 through February 12. It features 95 works from 47 public and private collections spread across several Southern states. According to Executive Director Seth M. Hopkins of the Booth Western Art Museum, "More than 1,200 people toured the gallery during the opening weekend and raved about both the scope and quality of the exhibition."

Researchers at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam have uncovered an unknown Goya under another Goya. Using sophisticated X-ray equipment, they discovered a work believed to have been painted between 1809 and 1813, underneath “Portrait of Ramón Satué” attributed to 1823. From TheArtNewspaper

Congratulations to Gail Gash Taylor whose work included in the current exhibit at the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C., "Pressing Ideas, Fifty Years of Women's Lithographs from Tamarind."  The exhibition includes work by forty-one women done between 1960 and 2010.

From the NMWA:

"Pressing Idea: Fifty Years of Women's Lithographs from Tamarind brings together a conversation among women artists who helped to uncover an artistic medium that had essentially lain dormant for decades and to revive the concept of working collaboratively. Featuring 75 works by 42 artists including June Wayne, Elaine de Kooning, Louise Nevelson, Margo Humphrey, Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, and Kiki Smith, Pressing Ideas explores the breadth of experimentation in lithography and women’s contributions to a workshop that stretches the creative boundaries."
