01/12/2022 11:01 PMYale University Art Gallery, which closed over the holidays, announced earlier this month that it planned to remain closed for the time being due to the surge in COVID cases.
The gallery closed in March 2020, due to the pandemic, and opened again in September 2020. It closed again about a month later, and remained closed until May 2021 for several days a week, and expanded its hours in September 2021.
Throughout, the gallery has offered a wealth of programs online, and plans to continue to do so this time.
The gallery has a YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/user/yaleartgallery), with videos of a series of programs presented in conjunction with the exhibition On the Basis of Art: 150 Years of Women at Yale, among other offerings, including the virtual lecture “Conversations with Indigenous-Language Activists and Artists” and the e-study tour “Conserving Time-Based Art at the Wurtele Study Center.”
The Gallery’s SoundCloud channel (soundcloud.com/yaleartgallery) provides another opportunity to learn about the collection from curators, scholars, conservators, students, and artists.
New this month on the YouTube channel is a story “The Dog and the Crocodile” inspired by a woodblock print by the Uruguayan-American artist Antonio Frasconi, titled The Dog and the Crocodile (1950). The story is available in English and Spanish.
Also available is a short video by Antonia Bartoli, curator of provenance research, who addresses the provenance of Salomon van Ruysdael’s View of Alkmaar (ca. 1650).
