Savannah’s Telfair Museum of Art, due to unveil its new Moshe Safdie-designed building this Friday, will also feature “a permanent group of 20 works on paper [donated] by well-known artists who knew the late Varnedoe, a Savannah native and art historian who for 14 years curated painting and sculpture at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. The artists include Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns, Chuck Close, Kiki Smith, Roy Lichtenstein, Jeff Koons and Ellsworth Kelly.”
