Chazen show spotlights work of Don Reitz

As The-Art-Museum- Previously-Known-As-The- Elvehjem changes its name to the Chazen Museum of Art, exhibits remain open for business.

Fittingly, the headline show that bridges the name change is “Clay, Fire, Salt, and Wood,” which runs through June 5. The 74-piece retrospective traces the prolific life and works of Don Reitz, a former UW-Madison professor (1962- 1988) and downright legend in the ceramics world – not to mention the university’s art department.
