Update




I've been gone for a few days ( I know, you're wondering how I could ever leave this place), and in that time so much work has been done it's mind boggling. Above, with the help of a magic "genie" lift, installers begin work installing Gunilla Klingberg's Brand New View on the windows of Moore's entrance.


Here are a few photos of the installation process and the now finished vivid orange work made by Gunilla Klingberg. The sticker, entirely made up of everyday places we all know and love, is all prepped and ready to go.




Seen from inside...where it's warm!


Nearly finished and looking absolutely magnificent in the brisk mid-afternoon light. What a way to make an entrance!!

Near completion is Paul Morrison's mural Haustorium, located on the corner of 20th and Parkway.Gallery installers Preston Scott and Gary Smith, head preparator and art installer at Moore, assemble the panels that were painted by Morrison's assistant in December. There are several layers of paint here to protect the work from the elements.


Getting it perfectly level on a wall that is not at all level...at least that's what Gary says.


A view from across the street. The scale of this piece is amazing!
Back inside, some of the most exciting news of the past few days is not only that Mundus Admirabilis is coming along swimmingly, but the artist Regina Silveira of Brazil is in the gallery!

One of twenty porcelain works with the same print as the walls ( and ceiling, and floors) that will be placed in the Goldie Paley Gallery in the center of the gallery on a table.
