Art sale supports research
By LENNIE BENNETT
Published October 12, 2006
Friday the 13th could be a lucky day for collectors. That's when Graphicstudio has its annual sale to benefit its research in visual arts. "Research" may seem more connected to scientific endeavors than art, but for 38 years, the not-for-profit Graphicstudio, part of the University of South Florida, has forged new techniques in working with famous artists on very limited edition prints and sculptures. Most of the art is sold through subscriptions but some is always kept for the permanent collection. And for the yearly fundraiser. Robert Rauschenberg, James Rosenquist, Lesley Dill, William Wegman, Kiki Smith, Vik Muniz, Ed Ruscha, Los Carpinteros, Chuck Close and Alex Katz, whose woodcut print is shown above, are some of the famous signatures appearing on works that will be discounted by 10 to 60 percent. The reception and sale (not an auction) is 6 to 10 p.m. at Graphicstudio, 3702 Spectrum Blvd., on the Tampa campus of USF. Admission is free. (813) 974-3503 or www.graphicstudio.usf.edu. - LENNIE BENNETT, Times art critic

Fifty years ago, they were screwed-up kids sent to the Florida School for Boys to be straightened out. But now they are screwed-up men, scarred by the whippings they endured. Read the story and see a video and portrait gallery.
