Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art

The Eiteljorg Museum will carry out a two-part collections conservation project that includes treating 22 paintings and 9 works of art on paper from its Western art collection and conducting a detailed object survey of 100 paintings and 25 works of art on paper that are part of a major collection bequeathed to the Eiteljorg in 2013. The works selected for treatment reflect priorities established in detailed object surveys conducted between 2007 and 2010. The stabilization of these works will ensure their long-term preservation and their availability for exhibition, publication, and loan. The works to be surveyed include major paintings by Frederic Remington, Charles M. Russell, Charles Schreyvogel, Thomas Moran, Albert Bierstadt, E. I. Couse, Joseph Sharp, and Frank Tenney Johnson. Project results will be incorporated into the museum's Long-Range Conservation Plan, which is essential for helping staff manage the collection.
