Art Exhibition: The Later Works of William Utermohlen
Location: The New York Academy of Medicine, Presidents Gallery
In 1995, the artist William Utermohlen was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. It was then he embarked on a series of self-portraits that poignantly and powerfully depict his journey living with the disease. This exhibition showcases these later works where one can see the artist’s attempts to stay connected to the world around him while he loses the ability to communicate in other ways. His work remains a testimony to the creative and human spirit that resides in all people living with dementia. The exhibition is being hosted by the Alzheimer’s Association, New York City Chapter, and supported by Myriad Pharmaceuticals, Inc. A companion evening lecture event—Portraits & Promises in Alzheimer’s Disease—will be held on October 25, 2006.
The exhibition is free to the public and open daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM from Sunday, October 22, to Friday, October 27, 2006.
