APR 9-1939 MODERN SCULPTURE IN WINDOW DISPLAYS AT SAKS-5th AVENUE Modern sculpture and spectator sports clothes in tweeds, plaids and checks, are combined in new window displays at Saks-Fifth AVenue, opening tomorrow. Collaborating with the Sculptor's Guild, the Fifth avenue store is presenting in six windows, pieces of sculpture which will be shown in the coming Outdoor Sculpture Show. The suited mannequin in each instance is placed in a rural setting of picketa fence, tree, gravel and plants, and the piece of sculpture, created by an American sculptor, constitutes the central theme in each window display. This display will continue through Thursday. The sculpture will go direct from the Saks window to the city-owned lot at 39th street and Park avenue, where the private opening of the second annual Outdoor Sculpture Show takes place April 15. The six sculptors whos works will be seen in Saks' windows include: Richmond Barthe, bronze sculpture entitled "Blackberry woman"; Cornelia Chapin, showing "Turtle," cared out of volcanic rock; Miss Franc Epping, with a marble "Scrub Woman"; Nathaniel Kaz, represented by the "Modern Pphinx," in marble; Berta Margoulies wit a plaster reproduction of her "Baby," cared out of California Redwood. Another Fifth avenue window in which a sculpture, loaned by the Sculptors' Guild, dominates is at Sloane's, where an attractive parapet scene, lends itself to the exhibition of Richmond Davies' monumental "Girl," in granite. THE SPUR NEW YORK, N. Y. APR--1939 New York's second outdoor sculpture show will open April 15 and run through May. This event is held by the Sculptor's Guild and will occupy the same premises as last year, the vacant lot on Park AVenue and 39th St. The exhibition will comprise 120 subjects, ranging from orthodox (which look like what they are), to the abstractions (concerning which one man's conjecture is as valid as another's). Among the better known of the exhibitors are Paul Manship, Warren Wheelock, Cornelia van A. Chapin, Berta Margoulies, and Louis Slobodkin. WASHINGTON, D.C. HERALD APR 24 1939 First Lady to Get Guild Invitation Cornelia Van A. Chapin, New York Sculptress, will arrive here tomorrow to invite Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt to attend the Sculptors Guild Outdoor Exhibition how on display at Park Avenue and Thirty-ninth Street. NEW YORK, N.Y. TIMES MAY 4-1939 FIRST LADY AT ART SHOW Unrecognized on Arrival at Outdoor Sculpture Exhibition Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt visited the Outdoor Sculpture Show in Park Avenue at Thirty-ninth Street alone yesterday. She arrived about 1 o'clock, some time before she was expected, and was about to pay her entrance fee of 10 cents before she was recognized. After looking at the show she complimented the sculptors on their statues, as well as on the landscape setting, and remarked: "It's too bad that you have so little cooperation from the weather. When one of the sculptors asked if Congress could not do something about it, she answered, laughing, "I'm afraid Washington can only give out the weather report."
