Iconic Moments
Exhibition Dates: December 21st thru June 16th, 2013
Location: Sally Kemper Wood Gallery
The term “icon” originated in relation to painted wooden panels found in Greek Orthodox places of worship. It has since come to suggest any image that is a “stand-in” for the celebrity, cultural importance, place marker, or notoriety of what is pictured—an emblem. Artworks by David Bates, Manolo Valdés, and Andy Warhol, among others are featured in the exhibition, culled from the Kemper Museum’s permanent collection. Roger Shimomura, Untitled, 1984; acrylic on canvas, 60 1/2 x 72 1/4 inches; Collection of the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, Bebe and Crosby Kemper Collection, Museum purchase made possible by a gift fro the Enid and Crosby Kemper and William T. Kemper Acquisition Fund, 2000.13
Café Sebastienne...
Take a break from our galleries and enjoy Executive Chef Jennifer Maloney’s contemporary American cuisine while surrounded by the Museum’s permanent collection, in either the intimate Café setting, or enclosed Courtyard.
Chef Maloney uses fresh seasonal ingredients and local organic produce each week in her innovative menus. Her dinner selections change weekly to take advantage of the market’s current offerings, and her lunch menus change seasonally.
As a finale to your Kemper Museum experience, or the perfect date spot, Café Sebastienne remains an attractive fixture in Kansas City’s Independent Restaurant Scene.
