Pabst Mansion Lecture: Conrad Seipp and His Milwaukee Neighbors
2024-04-05 17:00 - 18:00 | Pabst Mansion, 2000 W. Wisconsin Ave., Milwaukee, WI, 53233, United States
Did you know that at one point, in the early 1870s, Chicago brewer Conrad Seipp led the United States in beer production? This was short lived however as the death of his business partner and competition from those industrious brewers “up north” changed the American brewing landscape forever, making Milwaukee the Beer Capital of the World.
Desimone will give an overview of the Seipp Brewing Company as well as Black Point Estate and Gardens, the Seipp summer residence that is now a historic house museum operated by the Wisconsin Historical Society.
Dave Desimone is the director of Black Point Estate and Gardens. Dave holds a bachelor’s degree in history from Youngstown State University and a master’s degree in public history from Kent State University. Desimone has held prior positions with the Ohio Historical Society, Stan Hywet Hall and Gardens and the Cleveland Botanical Garden before moving to Wisconsin in 2013.

Road Trip! American Photographs, 1968 – 2005

Drawn from the permanent collection of the Haggerty Museum of Art, “Road Trip!” presents images from the 1960s-2000s that engage with the tradition of the photographic road trip. Beginning with Walker Evans’ “American Photographs” (1938) and Robert Frank’s “The Americans” (1958), road trips have long fueled photographers’ fascination with the American vernacular and social landscape. Focusing on the half-century following the publication of “The Americans”, the exhibition features the portfolio “American Roads” (1981), part of a recent gift of over 150 photographs donated by Richard D. and Kandace A. Riebel. The portfolio brings together work by twenty photographers who variously capture the absurdity, banality, beauty, and horror encountered on the road. Also on view are works by Joel Sternfeld, Stephen Shore and Alec Soth, photographers known for traveling throughout the United States and chronicling the people, places, and sites along the way.
“Road Trip!” was curated by Amanda H. Brown, Collections Manager and Registrar for the Haggerty Museum of Art.
Image: Ken Brown (American, b. 1944), “Pink Trailer Tilt”, 1976, from the American Roads portfolio. Chromogenic color print, 11 x 14 in. 2020.76.4. Gift of Richard D. and Kandace A. Riebel. Collection of the Haggerty Museum of Art, Marquette University
