1. Rooster art collection open house next Wednesday
A dedication and open house for an exhibit of more than 500 rooster figurines and images from around the world is set for 1 p.m. Wednesday, June 6, in the John W. Tyson Poultry Science Building. A dedication program in the Leland Tollett Auditorium will be followed at 1:30 p.m. by a reception and tour of the collection.
The Melvin and Lorraine Fields Collection includes pieces from designers such as Lalique, Sabino, Hummel, Lladro, Schmidt Company, Baccarat, Limoges and Dresden. The pieces are in crystal, enamel, bronze, teak, gold, silver, porcelain, rose quartz, terra cotta, jade, serpentine, steatite, wood and other materials.
The late Melvin Fields acquired the collection during some 40 years as a poultry company manager and broker in Los Angeles. His wife, Loraine Fields of Poway, Calif., donated the collection to the University of Arkansas System's Division of Agriculture in his memory.
