The Philip and Muriel Berman Museum of Art at Ursinus College continues to open the process of curatorial assessment and study to the public in its ‘Work(s) In Progress’ exhibition which is on view until April 12.
Visitors can return several times, as the rotating collection currently features town/cityscapes and marine/seascapes, as well as three-dimensional Pennsylvania German works of art, until March 13. From March 13 to April 13, the exhibit will feature portraits and three-dimensional folklifes and figurative and abstract works.
Bringing works of art out of the vaults and into the open, in preparation for expansion of the Museum building, the staff has turned the Main Gallery into a laboratory for more than 3,000 works from the permanent collection, rotating sections of the collection.
During this time the works will be studied by the museum staff for curatorial, educational, registrarial and conservation assessment as the museum moves toward its new addition–the Henry and June Pfeiffer Wing.
An official groundbreaking was held October 30 in 2008 for the new space, named for long-time museum supporter and college Trustee Henry W. Pfeiffer and his late wife, June. The Philadelphia firm Towers & Miller has designed an open storage addition which will allow the Museum’s diverse permanent collection to be on display.
