A rt aficionados gathered in Founders Hall in early March for an evening celebrating a new space on campus that's dedicated to appreciation of the life aesthetic. The Robert and Karen Hoehn Family Galleries will exhibit prints on campus in collaboration with local institutions such as the San Diego Museum of Art and the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego. USO board of trustees president Robert Hoehn is a long-time patron of the arts; this gift funded both the galleries' renovation and the creation of an endowment to support fu– ture exhibitions. When introducing Hoehn , university President Mary Lyons pointed out that the school 's history is based on an appreciation of beauty. Numerous members of the univer– sity community have collaborated to bring the project to fruition , including former President Alice B. Hayes, professor emerita Therese Whitcomb and university designer Mary Whelan. The opening exhibition, Tfie Famous Face: Portraiture in Prints from Dilrer to Warhol, features 5 7 prints by artists such as Warhol , Cezanne, Toulouse-Lautrec and Pablo Picasso .
