IOWA CONTEMPORARY ART
March through December, 2020
Coming in April, May, 2021: The Kathy Poppers’ Collection for a “Round 2” Auction:
With the COVID19 virus still raging all over the country, and in Iowa, the ICON
Board of Directors has decided to restructure the projected gallery schedule for 2021.
Shows scheduled for spring and summer have been pushed back to the end of the
year or 2022. In the mean time, ICON Director Bill Teeple is planning events to stay
connected with art lovers in Fairfield and beyond.
1. During the months of February and March the history of ICON will be celebrated in
the front windows which will be filled with ICON posters spanning 20 years.
2. In February ICON Thursday will return, but online. Bill Teeple will play YouTube art
videos for us to watch together using YouTube Party. Anyone can join in once they
download an app on YouTube. Watch for details through ICON’s Constant Contact
email notices. If you are not already getting emails on events at ICON, send a
request to bill@icon-art.org to get on the list.
3. ICON’s “Second Round” auction has been moved to April/May from February/March.
Viewing in the gallery will be by appointment, but all bidding will be online again. The
2nd auction features works from the “Kathy Poppers Collection” along with selected
pieces from the November/December auction. Also, there will be new work that has
been donated since the 1st 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 40 pieces are going up for auction starting on April
First Friday.
