JAMES PARKER'S WORK PICKED FOR UPCOMING BOOK ON COLLAGE

Art work by James V. Parker, retired founding director of the University Museum and Gallery, has been selected to appear in a new book by Watson-Guptill Publications.

The 160-page book will consist of 250 full-color examples of collage techniques. The work of 50 American artists will be represented.

The book, slated to be the American Artist Book of the Month, is to be published late in 1994. It is being written and designed by Gerald F. Brommer.

In 1977, three of Parker's color collages appeared in the book "The Art of Collage."
