Anne Frank Exhibit To Open! At SNMFA

The Southern Nevada Museum of Fine Art (SNMFA) opens its Fall 2014 season with “Anne Frank, An Historical Remembrance” featuring the work of well-known artist and lithographer Michael Knigin (1942-2011). The exhibit is paired with “Chai Lights,” a collection of 100 works of art by 31 Las Vegas artists, focused on Jewish themes. Both exhibits will be open to the public Wednesday through Saturday from noon to 5 p.m. until Nov. 26. General admission to the exhibit is $5.

“Michael Knigin is a lyrical, provocative artist whose work challenges our concepts of reality and our view of life. This gentle, unassuming man left a legacy of commitment to print-making in all its forms. He had an abiding interest in creating a body of work that pays tribute to the victims of the holocaust and his work on Anne Frank is a cornerstone of that commitment,” said Mark Rowland, the museum’s director. 

Rowland is an artist in his own right with over 40 years experience as a fine art product developer and serigraphic atelier owner for artists including Erte, Leroy Neiman, Steven Holland and Eyvind Earle. 

Knigin (pronounced K-nee-gin) stated, “It is a major shock and outrage to realize that our present generation of children is growing up with little or no knowledge of Anne Frank and her brave, heroic spirit.”

Knigin, who owned and operated Chiron Press, helped a generation of young artists take form, grow and succeed in his role as a professor at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn , N.Y. and a teacher at Yale University. He authored a definitive book on lithography and worked with both Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. 

Knigin added, “In 1975, the Israel Museum and the Jerusalem Foundation asked me to establish the first professional lithographic and silk screen atelier in Israel. I was simultaneously working with the ministry of labor and education where I began meeting [Holocaust] survivors. Their stories were so unbelievable, compelling and horrifying that I started then and there to create collages of my interpretation of what I’d heard.”

His work is owned by over 60 museums including the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum and the Carnegie-Mellon Institute.

The accompanying Chai Lights exhibit features 100 works of art by Las Vegas artists of Jewish descent as well as non-Jewish artists portraying Jewish themes.  Sculptor Sharon Gainsburg, photographer Alan Rosenberg, and mixed media artists Dinah Steinberg and Anne Furno are just four of the 31 local artists whose works are displayed in the museum galleries. All local artists’ works are for sale, as well as selected prints by Michael Knigin.

The Southern Nevada Museum of Fine Art is a 17,000 square foot space located in downtown Las Vegas at 450 Fremont St., within the Neonopolis complex. It is a member of the American Alliance of Museums. Annual membership is $30 and includes free admission to the museum for one year.
