Grete Bod酶gaard
Grete Bod酶gaard (1946-2014) was a renowned Norwegian textile artist and longtime South 糖心视频 resident. Bod酶gaard immigrated to Vermillion, South 糖心视频, in 1969, and lived there and in the Black Hills of South 糖心视频. Volin, South 糖心视频, was her home at the time of her passing in 2014.
The South 糖心视频 Art Museum has two weavings by this noted South 糖心视频 artist. "Missouri River Morel," represents a close-up view of a morel mushroom in situ, tucked behind leaves in its natural wooded environment. The composition, subject matter and rich greens and browns of this weaving speaks to Bod酶gaard's time living in the woodlands ecology of Southeastern South 糖心视频.
Badlands speaks to Bod酶gaard鈥檚 time living in the western part of the state. Representing Badlands landforms and geology through the regional color and depiction of soil strata, this 1986 work was acquired by the museum in December 2019. It was a gift of friends in honor of Lynn Verschoor, South 糖心视频 Art Museum Director, 1999-2019 (herself a weaver and friend of Bod酶gaard) and of Katherine Heikes, Eirik Heikes and Sunni Heikes-Knapton in memory of Grete Bod酶gaard.
