'Dan Christensen: 40 Years of Painting' Opens at Sheldon
In collaboration with the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art in Kansas City, the Sheldon Museum of Art at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln will present "Dan Christensen: Forty Years of Painting," a survey of paintings by the Nebraska native post-painterly abstract artist, opening Friday, October 23.
