In-Gallery Conservation | Open to Visitors

Longtime collaborator and conservator at the Hirshhorn, Scott Nolley will be conserving our Joan Mitchell painting, Untitled, featured in the exhibition Processing Abstraction. By carefully removing decades of settled dust and accumulation, Scott will reveal the true colors and forms of Mitchell’s seminal work. We welcome you to see the process in action as Scott interacts with visitors in The Fralin’s galleries in September and October.

Nolley will be working in the galleries September 14–15, 21–22, 29–30, and October 12–13.
