Photo gallery A big-time installation
Workers used a gantry earlier this month to guide a 15-foot wide painting into place at the Chazen Museum of Art. The 1971 acrylic painting called “Danse Élanse” by artist Jean Dubuffet can now be seen on a wall of the main lobby. It was a gift to the museum by Jerome and Simona Chazen, whom the museum is named after. The museum is open by reservation, but drop-in visitors are welcome if occupancy limit allows. The painting is visible through the museum’s front windows.
