FROM OUR BLOG / Molly Boarati, Academic Program Coordinator, writes "Searching for works in our permanent collection for the yearly Summer Reading installation is one of the highlights of my summer. This year, while thinking about author Colum McCann’s novel Let the Great World Spin, I came across a great photo collage by the American artist James Harbour Crable (b. 1939). Hanging in the back of painting storage, the large, colorful image immediately struck me as a perfect fit for the installation. Read more.
