Artwork in collections of "of most Alaskan museums"

edit

Proof? The claim that a painting of hers is in the Sam McClain collection of the University of Alaska Anchorage is false. According to the collection description it includes a color slide of her work on display at the 1969 AMU Show. Sionk (talk) 20:23, 11 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Does Alaska have any museums ? :) They didn't when Joan Kickbush was active - except maybe some touristy thing in Sitka. Anchorage was lucky to have a few paved roads. Personal observation so it doesn't count but my Mom was a big fan in 1963. There were maybe two or three Alaska artists then, if that many, and Joan Kickbush was the only one doing the eskimo children thing. She is notable but only if you care about real history, not the wikipedia kind.
Funny you'd mention AMU, too. I bet almost nobody these days even knows what that is, except for maybe a few of us old goats. Yes, Joan Kickbush is as notable as Chester Nuniak, who won the sled dog races back when they were real. Iditarod, that Bigass Fraud :D 116.231.76.237 (talk) 06:00, 20 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
