Lecture Series, Sale To Aid Damaged Art

An art exhibition at Carpenter Center and a lecture series on Italian art will be held April 22-30 to raise funds for the Committee to Rescue Italian Art.

The proceeds of the show and lecture series will finance restoration of art, architecture, and libraries in Florence and Venice damaged by floods last November.

James S. Ackerman, professor of Fine Arts and chairman of the New England chapter of CRIA, will deliver the first lecture at 8 p.m. Monday in the Fogg Art Museum.

Wayne V. Andersen, chairman of the M.I.T. Committee on the Visual Arts, and Horst W. Janson, chairman of the Art History Department at New York University, complete the series with lectures Tues. and Wed. at Carpenter Center.
