About the Item
In 2016 the Dennos Museum in Traverse City, Michigan, in homage to the very first exhibition in the Zimmerman Sculpture Court, installed the first two paintings by the former Michigan State University painting professor, Clif McChesney (1929-2011) on the Court walls, and the glass artistry of Dale Chihuly, featuring works from the Dennos Collection. In 1991, an exhibition of Dale Chihuly glass accompanied the McChesney painting installation.
A Hoosier by birth, he studied at professional schools in Chicago before transferring to Indiana University for his degree. His studies continued at Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan where he was awarded his M.F.A. Clif taught as Professor of Art at Michigan State University Art Department from 1960 to retirement in 1991. He was awarded the Distinguished Faculty Award for the College of Arts and Letters in 1985. His work is included in corporate collections as well as the Detroit Institute of Arts, University of Michigan Art Museum, University of California Art Museum, Cranbrook Art Museum and many private collections nationally and internationally.

- "Red Harmony" Abstract, Geometric, Colors, Bright Red, GreenBy William AntonowLocated in Detroit, MISALE ONE WEEK ONLY "Red Harmony" is an abstract painting that does have a sculptural presence in the shapes of the red areas. The lush greens blend various shades into a background that while it does contrast sharply with the reds, it is not in conflict. The overall effect of this work is dynamic in its energy while at the same time harmonious. One of the original Cass Corridor artists from the 1960s William Antonow studied at the School of the Detroit Society of Arts and Crafts (now the College for Creative Studies) and at Wayne State University, where he received his BFA (1967) and MA (1970.) Antonow’s first one-person show at the Willis Gallery in 1971, represented a radical departure from his early work – abstract bronzes shown at the Michigan Artists exhibitions at the Detroit Institute of Arts in 1969 and 1970. A founding member of the Willis, Antonow publicized his exhibition with a cryptic invitation stating, “art isn’t anything.” Echoing the challenge implicit in the exhibition announcement, the works in the show consisted of precariously balanced piles of such non-art materials as wood crates and barrels, corrugated paper or cardboard, cellophane and beer cans. These brash, paint-slathered juxtapositions of salvaged objects were perhaps the first example of the nascent “tough art” aesthetic of the Cass Corridor. (Both Gordon Newton’s wood constructions and Bob Sestok’s crude “radio wheels” first appeared in 1972.) In 1975, in the inaugural group exhibition of the Willis at its new location in the Fisher Building...Category

- Brother Mel Meyer- Colorful Abstract, Wall Mount Steel DiptychLocated in Detroit, MISALE ONE WEEK ONLY Mel Meyer's work runs the gamut of multiple mediums. His artwork, especially his metal sculptures, are known for their geometric components and bright contrasting colors.
