Please Join Us for a Visit to the Private Collection of Joe Wetzel and Catherine Day
Saturday, September 6, 1:00 pm
Catherine and Joe have been collecting art together most of their adult lives. Rooted in their shared love of photography and printmaking, the collection of over 200 pieces leans heavily into works on paper. While the focus is American modern and contemporary art, the collection crosses borders and centuries. European prints, ancient artifacts (including a 1st-century Greek terracotta and a fragment of a Ptolemaic-period Egyptian sarcophagus), contemporary glass, and small sculpture all find a home here.
The Wetzel/Day home is located in Northern Virginia. Further logistical details will be sent to registrants.
Catherine and Joe have generously offered to open their home to 30 WPC members and their guests. Members may register for themselves and one guest. Please use the button below to RSVP by August 30.
