IOWA CONTEMPORARY ART
Through August, 2021
July 2021 - David T. Hanson Video looping during regular hours
ICON is participating in the international event “Extraction: Artists on the edge of the Abyss,” a global
multi-venue event highlighting the environmental consequences of industrialized natural resource
extraction. Our offering is a new video by David T. Hanson of his celebrated Wasteland photo series.
Hanson has created a video of the entire series, including his aerial photographs, maps and EPA site
descriptions of each hazardous waste site. For this video, composer Jarrad Powell has created an
original sound work.
The sociologist Andrew Ross wrote, “Hanson’s Waste Land series is a stunning documentary of a century
of organized state terrorism against the North American land, its species, and its peoples.”

Kathy Edwards Hayslett
ICON’s newly renovated Hudson Gallery re-opened on
March 6 with an exhibition of Mark Paul Petrick’s photographs
from India and Anonymous Shiva Linga Paintings. The exhibition
will feature fifteen prints from Petrick’s extended series an India
(1998-2002) and a selection of Anonymous Shiva Linga Paintings
from ICON’s Hudson Collection.
ICON’s “Second Round” auction opens on First Friday, April 2nd. ICON had so
much work come in for the biennial auction this year that it was necessary to split
the auction into two parts. The Round Two Auction will be in the gallery and online
during April and May. Final bidding day will be Friday June 4th.
The ICON Round Two Auction features works from the Kathy Poppers’ Collection
along with at least 75 selected pieces from the Nov/Dec auction, and there will
be new work that has been donated since the first auction ended.
Kathy Poppers is an artist, art appraiser, art collector and former ICON Board of
Directors member. She now resides in California, but during her last visit to Fairfield
she emptied her storage unit and donated much of the art to ICON. Significant
works were added to the ICON permanent collection, but over 50 pieces are
going up for auction.
Works donated by Poppers include pieces by noted artists such as Patrick Nagel,
Michael Knigen, James - Paul Brown, Gerardo Chavez, Bob Kane, Leo Posillico,
Michael Urban, ceramic cars by Glenn Appleman and art dolls by L.A.
“Pop Surrealist” artist Camille Rose Garcia.
The 65 pieces in the second room include work by Robert Hoerlein,
Jim Shrosbree, Greg Thatcher, Madeline DeJoly, Suanna Breed, Cheryl Jacobsen,
Sue Hettmansperger, Allen Cobb, Mike Rutherford, and many more.
Viewing in the gallery will be by appointment, but all bidding will be online.

important cultural resource, but you walk away with a work of art by a top artist.
There is art that appeals to all art sensibilities.
