Recently a group of staff from the University of Iowa Library’s Conservation Lab journeyed up to Dubuque to install some pieces lent from the Iowa Women’s Archive (IWA) to the Dubuque Museum of Art. The materials and artwork are from the Josephine Pletscher Papers collection, donated to IWA by Kimberly Kirkpatrick Sparling and Ann Saylor in loving honor of Pletscher who was an artist, Iowan, and student of Corita Kent. The exhibit that the pieces will be a part of is called Just to Live is Holy <\/em>which “features more than a dozen artists affiliated with a religious order, each of whom has made a unique contribution to our understanding of the relationship between art and faith and the importance of social justice.” Some of the most notable works on display were made by Corita Kent and these include the ones installed by Conservation staff generously loaned by the Iowa Women’s Archive.<\/p>\n
