WE NEED YOUR PHOTOS & STORIES

There is so much more that is not yet represented here.

For example, we know that, in 1964, Bill Zacha had an exhibit in Tokyo, water colors of Tokaido Road images. At the time, he gave a collector of Tokaido lore, Mr. Minami of Kusatsu, permission to have the watercolors professionally photographed. The exhibit sold out; the paintings are gone, but photographs of those watercolors might still exist. Digital images, prints of the photos, and a photo of Mr. Minami, would be treasured additons to the Zacha archives.

To join in the satisfying work of enlarging the digital museum archive by sharing images of artwork by Mendocino Heritage Artists, as well as stories, archival correspondence, articles, and personal photos of the artists, please contact our Archivist.

A Mystery: Where is THIS PAINTING?

Photograph of the missing Zacha painting, Mendocino Watertower

After the recent death of her father, his bereaved daughter shipped his large 1963 Bill Zacha watercolor, Mendocino Watertower, to her home via UPS. Tracking confirms that the painting was on the truck, but the painting never reached its destination and, now, UPS reports that it is missing.

If you have any information about the painting or if , by great good fortune, the painting turns up on your doorstep, please contact Lucia Zacha (707-937-3777) who will notify the owner. Thank you very much!
