Caring for Curry: A Renewed View of a Madison Landscape

Caring for Curry: A Renewed View of a Madison Landscape

We recently had the honor of treating a painting titled Madison Landscape by John Steuart Curry from the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art ; the painting is part of MMoCA’s permanent collection and will be featured in their upcoming exhibition A Broad Sweep of Sky, which explores how Regionalist artists of the 1930s and 1940s helped define a distinctly American, place-based visual identity.

Talking about Revolution: Treating a 1740 War Drum

The power of the drum is rooted in its ability to send messages. With the constant tempo of warriors' feet beating on the ground, it summons allies and beats back enemies with the same force. It can be used as an instrument of war or peace, a companion to dance and celebration. During the Revolutionary War, the drum played a vital role in conveying messages, persuading troops to fight, and boosting morale.

The Glessner House Piece

The Glessner House Piece

Last month we had the pleasure of hosting a private tour of our conservation laboratory and warehouse in collaboration with the Glessner House Museum. The museum previously brought us a ceramic piece from their collection that had shattered. When the tour came through in the first week of the month, the group was fortunately able to see the piece mid-treatment.
