Director’s Desk: Splendid and Familiar Finds at Bowdoin

I was so glad to visit the Bowdoin College Museum of Art to catch the final days of our Kirkeby exhibition, which looked magisterial! Their Prendergast exhibition was also sensational. What a watercolorist! Wonderful to see how Duncan Phillips’s ideas figure prominently in the exhibition, as do the two works that we were able to lend.
