HIDDEN BUT NOT FORGOTTEN
The Wichita Art Museum has brought out from its collection works that have been in storage for years; though there is no stated theme beyond “unseen for a while,” careful curation has grouped the 40-plus pantings, prints, and sculptures into vignettes that provoke thoughful connections. Many even have the timely feel of summer; it is well worth your time to come and see Calder, Cottingham, Christopher, Leon Kelly, Grilley, and more. Opportunity knocks through October 23.
