Before the opening of The von Liebig Art Center in 1998, the Naples Art Association began an initiative to further its mission by collecting original works of art through gift and donation. The collection of mid- to late 20th century paintings, sculpture, works on paper, photography and mixed media documents the legacy of artists who were influential in establishing Naples as a vital art community. The first works collected were exhibited during The von Liebig Art Center’s gala opening. With the turn of the 21st Century, the focus of the Collection expanded to include contemporary work by artists who have achieved national and international recognition and who have had a Florida connection. The von Liebig Art Center now holds a collection of 175 works of American art created after 1950. Read Less

For the second year in a row three women received top awards in the Naples Art Association's Founders Exhibition. They were each given a $1,000 top award during the 46th Founders Juried Awards Exhibition held at The von Liebig Art Center in 2007. In addition to the award, each artist was invited to participate in this special three-person exhibition. The three women in the exhibition are Gisela Miller, Janis Siegel and Joan Sonnenberg. After moving to Naples from Alexandria, Virginia, Gisela Miller expanded the range of her palette to include brilliant colors. Her recent work is influenced by tropical floral hues. 3 Women of Merit includes some of her most recent works created this summer in her Alexandria studio. Janis Siegel studied painting, sculpture and fiber art at the Art Institute of Chicago. Inspired by the historical costumes she saw on display during a trip to London, Siegel developed a series of large sculptures based on 19th Century haute couture fashions which were designed to enhance the female form, but actually bound and distorted it. Selected free standing and wall-dependent sculptures from the series are included in 3 Women of Merit. Joan Brechen Sonnenberg sees herself as a citizen of the world. For decades she lived with her industrialist husband, Fred Sonnenberg, in countries throughout South America, in Japan and all over the United States. Now dividing her time between Naples and Western Pennsylvania, her work in 3 Women of Merit is a kaleidoscopic reflection of her worldwide experiences and cosmopolitan life. Read Less
