"I am happy to stay connected to the art and artists in this town, my hometown," says Goodman, who graduated from Oak Park High School and earned a certificate and bachelor's degree from CCS. "My passion is oil paint, and I have spent 40 years exper- imenting with it." Before devoting herself to painting, Goodman tried her hand in sculpture while living in the Cass Corridor in the 1970s. The drawing that will be on display anticipated one of her three-dimensional projects. During the same time period that Goodman was working in Detroit, the Silvermans became interested in this phase of artistry, but it all started on a trip to Japan, where they saw an installation by Sol Lewitt. "It dawned on me that Lewitt prob- ably had never gone to visit the space and direct the placement of the instal lation," explains Silverman, who is showcasing work by several Jewish artists but not Jewish subjects. "I decided that he had probably looked at photographs of the space and then had written and drawn out instruc- tions so others could install the work. - I really liked that. "After giving this some thought, I decided that the idea leading to the creation of a work of art is either the most important part or at least a very important part of the artwork. This essentially would be the artist's think- ing process, as opposed to the actual painting or sculpture, and [each pre- liminary piece works to] bridge the gap between the flash of an idea and the completed work." Acting on his collecting instincts, Silverman contacted Lewitt and asked if he would sell his instructions. After the deal was struck, Silverman went on to poke around the back rooms of dealers and found things that they, at that time, did not place in great value. As the couple gained more and more of these pieces, they found that other collectors also were becoming interest- ed in the field. "This exhibit celebrates the Silvermans as innovative collectors and: also as supporters of cultural institu- tions in Michigan," says Center Galleries director Michelle Perron, who learned. about this collection through a catalogue from a European show. "I've known the Silvermans for many years, and I wanted to recognize their generosity while offering a special education opportunity for CCS stu- dents." The Silverman collection keeps growing. As recently as August, they purchased• a sheet with doodles by the late painter-sculptor Lucio Fontana. "I've really had to ferret out these drawings," Silverman says. "But part of the fun of collecting has been the chase and traveling to find different pieces." ❑ 'THIS iS oNe oF the FUNNieSt MoVieS ever made." —Roger Ebert, 2002 "The MtiMate FiLM...THe eSSeNce of au. great comedy _ IN a SiNgLe MotioN picture." —Peter Sellers The exclusive engagement Fri, Sep 13 and Sat, Sep 14 at 7 & 9:30 Sun, Sep 15 at 4 & 7 It Goes Like This: Instruction Drawings from the Gilbert and Lila Silverman Collection will be on view Sept. 14-Oct. 12 at Detroit's Center Galleries, 301 Frederick Douglass.
