The Business of Portraiture: Mr. Fox and the Captains of Industry
Painting conservators uncover more than just the stunning surfaces of works of art hidden under years of grime, sometimes they recover lost stories that inform us about history, the art market, and the hidden desire for fame and notoriety. Join Holly Witchey, ICA-Art Conservation’s Director of Education & Outreach, as she shares a story of two portraits that recently came into the lab, and looks at the connections between the art studio and the business boardroom in Mid-Century America.
Free Admission – This event is free but limited to 15 participants — please email hwitchey@ica-artconservation.org or call 216-658-8700 for reservations.

Additional time info:
There is street parking in our neighborhood but because of the large amount of new construction parking is often difficult to find. Please allow yourself time to find a parking space. Although our street address is 2915 Detroit Avenue, the actual entrance to the lab is on the street behind, Church Avenue. We have a big bluish-gray door that is directly opposite the entrance to the CMA Transformer Station. Push the buzzer to the right of the door. We will buzz you in and come down and meet you. If you have any accessibility issues or need an elevator for mobility, please let me know so we can accommodate you.
