Chazen Museum of Art

A Morning at the Chazen Museum of Art on the Campus of the University of Wisconsin in Madison 

The Samurai Exhibit is a temporary instillation, Susan loved it.

In other parts of the museum

Looking over the University to Lake Michigan


Andy Warhol's Marilyn Monroe, 1967

Claes Oldenburg's Typewriter Eraser, 1977

These are examples of Christo and Jeanne-Claude's environmental art. Judy was fortunate enough to see their "Running Fence" on the California coast in 1976.

Netsukes, now considered an art form, originally were functional pieces used on kimono sashes. Judy has collected a few Netsukes of lesser value.
