New Art Exhibit Opens at NMH May 15
NORTHFIELD, Mass.— Trying to find truth is a concern of Arthur
S. Goldberg, Northfield Mount Hermon class of 1955. And he does
it by collecting art.
The hobby contains deeper passions than one might suspect.
Goldberg sees it as a way of aging gracefully, but also as a way
to make sense in the world. “Art is a personal balm for soothing
the aching fear that one’s life is being dominated by the
ephemeral stimuli around us. The act of collecting represents a
hope that one voyeur made an attempt to realize truth.”
Goldberg recently decided to share his muse by donating 11 of
his paintings to
NMH to coincide with his 50th reunion year. “I just felt this
was a very appropriate occasion, and an opportunity to give
something back to Mount Hermon, which really set my life in a
whole different direction.”
The Arthur S. Goldberg Collection is a near survey of
contemporary art in New England. Artists represented in this
show include Donnie Anderson, Gerry Bergstein, Haley Halser,
Henry Schwartz, Ridley Howard, C. J. Lori, Ed Tekeian, Gregory
Amenoff, William Ciccariello, Suzanne Vincent, and Harold Tovish.
“Sharing a Passion: Gifts from the Collection of Arthur S.
Goldberg” will run from
May 15 through June 12 at the Nada/Mason Gallery on the school’s
Northfield campus.
A reception with Mr. Goldberg will be on June 11 at
5:30 pm at
the gallery.
