one more time

The exhibition Florida Portraits (Sarasota County Historical Resources) was finally re-installed tonight, at the newly renovated downtown, Terrace Building. This collection of portraits was from my sister's estate (her portfolio of my work) on permanent loan, to the Sarasota County's historical archives.

Exhibition statement written by my sweet daughter, Rebecca Mary-Lou.





Mark, the exhibit's installer, with Heidi Connor, Sarasota's county archivist, alongside Michael, Mark's assistant.  After 5 hours, all of us a little bedraggled after hanging all 41 portraits, with their accompanying side captions.






(post script); There's always a little humor. Apparently, when the County Administrators came into the building the following morning, the printed captions had all fallen off the walls, onto the floor. Whoever had printed the heavy-stock labels, obviously didn't use enough adhesive for the backing - at least, that's what I understood from my morning conversation with Miss Heidi.
