    Views from the Collection III is the third in a three-part series of exhibitions of art drawn from the Vanderbilt University Fine Arts Collection. This collection, the only ensemble of its kind in the area, includes the art of antiquity, Old Master prints and paintings, East Asian art, African and Pre-Columbian art and artifacts, contemporary graphics, and photography.

    There will be an opening reception on Thursday, April 3, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. at the Fine Arts Gallery, located in the Old Gym, at the corner of 23rd and West End Avenues.

    This current installment from the series will feature a cross-section of art from Europe, the United States, Japan, China, India, Papua New Guinea, and Africa. Highlights will include examples from the Samuel H. Kress Collection of Renaissance paintings, and two remarkable paintings that have recently received conservation treatment: the first by the nineteenth-century French painter Jules Adolphe Goupil, and the second, a late seveenteenth-century portrait by the Dutch painter Michiel van Müsscher. Other highlights include a selection of contemporary Japanese ceramics by masters of the medium such as Toshiko Takaezu and Hamada Shoji, a selection of etchings by the American master printmaker John Taylor Arms, and an unusual multiple by the American composer, philosopher, writer, and printmaker John Cage.
