Art Closet

Art Closet

To the right of the art closet is a screenprint, Colleurs Unique (1966), by René Bertholo (1935-2005).  This painting that looks like a collage was a gift from the artist, whom John Ashbery met in France. The art closet itself is packed from floor to ceiling with works, including paintings by friends and works that Ashbery created in the 1930s as a student at the Memorial Art gallery  and in the early 1940s at Deerfield Academy.
