The Huntington Library, Art Collections and Botanical Gardens has announced that it will host nine exhibitions through 2011, including major shows dedicated to sculptor John Frame and the late artist-designer Sam Maloof.

As was previously reported, the Huntington will host an exhibition dedicated to writer Charles Bukowski (Oct. 9 to Feb. 14), featuring his papers, photographs and other memorabilia, as well as a show of bronzes from the collection of architect Peter Marino (Oct. 9 to Jan. 24).

‘Three Fragments of a Lost Tale: Sculpture and Story by John Frame’ (March 12 to June 20) will focus on the artist’s sculptural figures, stage settings, still photographs and animated-film vignettes.

‘The House That Sam Built: Sam Maloof and Art in the Pomona Valley, 1945-85’ will feature 30 Maloof pieces in a display that is integrated with about 80 works by about 30 of his friends and colleagues who worked in other media.

Rounding out the Huntington’s lineup is ‘Picturesque to Pastoral: British Landscape Prints From the Huntington’s Art Collections’ (July 31 to Nov. 1), ‘Evolving Ideas: Midcentury Printmakers Explore Process’ (Oct. 2 to Jan. 3) and a show of prints by Goya from the Huntington collection (Jan. 29 to March 7).

In addition, the Huntington will mount a show of 19th century art that explores finance and money titled ‘Taxing Visions: Financial Episodes in Late 19th Century American Art’ (Jan. 29 to May 30). It will also produce the show ‘Reassessing the Regency: Elegance, Excess and Revolutions in England, 1811-20’ (April 23 to Aug. 1), featuring rare books, manuscripts, prints and drawings.
