IN EXHIBITION of more than fifty works by Picasso, spanning more than six decades, is no small thing in any city—for Portland it is unique. The collection, to be shown only at the Portland Art Museum, will not be reassembled. The occasion of so great an event is one of the landmarks in the history of the Museum: the completion of construction which includes a new five-story building for the Museum Art School; an adjacent block-long sculpture mall; greatly enlarged vault and gallery space in the Museum; a conservation laboratory; permanent curatorial and administrative office space not provided for in any previous construction ; and an auditorium with seating for 500. These interrelated projects complete the square block upon which the first building (Ayer Wing) was constructed in 1932 facing the Park Blocks. The entire complex was designed by Pietro Belluschi. The construction alone—beautiful and fitting in its environment—is an occasion for rejoicing. But the functions it will fulfill supersede even these values, for the new construction will make a vast difference in the offerings of both Museum and School: The twenty-six new studios, ample in size, beautifully lit, and well-equipped, make the Museum Art School one of the most capacious and efficient structures, per number of students, in the country. The Museum is now able to display collections, some recently acquired, for which there has not previously been space. Don't forget to check out other great deals in our eBay Store!!
