Pachner Is Awarded Guggenheim Fellowship The Guggenheim Memorial Foundation of New York has announced the appointment of artist William Pachner, Clearwater, as a Fellow for the year 1960-61.

The fellowship carries a grant of $4,500 which Pachner may use any way he desires to advance his painting. The Guggenheim Foundation annually awards such grants to scholars, scientists and artists selected by juries of experts, "so that fellows, during the period of their fellowship, may occupy themselves under the freest possible conditions with those creative activities for which the fellowship was granted." Among earlier recipients noted in the creative arts were writer Thomas Wolfe, composers Aaron Copeland and Gian-Carlo Menotti, poet Stephen Vincent Benet and sculptor Isamu Noguchi. GROWING STATURE The Guggenheim grant to Pachner adds significantly to the growing stature of the Clearwater artist. A year ago another landmark was established in his career when Pachner was chosen for the Ford Foundation's Arts and Humanities program, which a retrospective show is circulated nationally a period of two years. Pachner, who is 45, was one of 12 contemporary American artists over the age of 40 to receive this honor.

Last month the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, purchased a major Pachner work for the museum collection. The painting, "Terminal No. 1," was included in the artist's recent one-man show at the Krasnem Gallery in New York. Several other paintings in the show were purchased by prominent collecorst. Prior to that, Pachner won the top prive of $1,00 in the annual I national exhibition of the Butler Institute of American Art in Youngstown, Ohio.

The winning painting hs ben added to Butler's permanent collection. WAS ILLUSTRATOR Pachner began his career as an illustrator, and his work appeared in the nation's leading magazines.
