A new showcase for art

There’s an art to medicine, and some medical practitioners are also artists in their own right. Visitors to the Yale Physicians Building can now view artwork by Yale doctors and others associated with the School of Medicine. Last June, a gallery area that recently became part of the New Haven artSPACE program began showcasing work by Yale faculty and staff and other artists from greater New Haven. Featured artwork in the inaugural show included photographs by Amy L. Friedman Meguira, M.D., assistant professor of surgery; a bronze sculpture by Wayne O. Southwick, M.D., professor emeritus of orthopaedics and rehabilitation; and oil paintings by Barry L. Zaret, M.D., Robert W. Berliner Professor of Medicine and chief of the section of cardiovascular medicine. The gallery’s second show, photographs by Burim Myftiu of Kosovo, opened in September.
