Sendak, Wyeth Exhibits Highlight NY Museum’s 2017 Season

COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. (AP) — The Fenimore Art Museum's 2017 schedule of 11 new exhibits includes artwork by Maurice Sendak and Andrew Wyeth and a display of art and memorabilia from an Olympic figure skating champion and commentator.

The Cooperstown museum's season opens April 1 with eight exhibits, including "The Art of Figure Skating through the Ages: The Dick Button Collection." Button won gold medals at the Winter Games in 1948 and '52 and was a five-time world champion during that span before going on to a long career as a network TV skating commentator.

His ice skating art collection includes 17th-century Dutch paintings, costumes, photographs and antique skates.

Sendak, creator of the popular children's book "Where the Wild Things Are," will be featured in an exhibit starting April 1.

The Wyeth exhibit opens May 27.
