Preparing for Paley

by Marie Via, Director of Exhibitions

Can it really be possible that we started planning for the upcoming Albert Paley exhibition in 2003??? Yes, and now we’re down to the last two weeks before it opens to the public on May 2.

We opened up the back wall of the gallery space so the massive sculptures could be brought in, and laid luan on the parquet floor to protect it from the machinery.

Ultimately, 9-1/2 tons of steel will be deposited in the gallery for your viewing pleasure. And more than one sigh of relief will probably escape Memorial Art Gallery staffers’ lips when the work is done!
