Custodial History
Acquisition #11.13 was transferred from the Visitor's Center on June 27, 2011. Custodial History: When Chris came to the Visitors Center six years ago, the self-portrait of Richard Ellinger was hanging on a wall (it was subsequently taken down and put in storage) and the other two paintings were already in storage. He gave me the emails of the previous two department heads, and I've written them for any information they may have on the paintings. Physical Condition: The painting by Robert Wood has some cracking of the paint; the self-portrait by Richard Ellinger has cracking and scuff marks; the landscape by Richard Ellinger is in good condition with a very few small scuff marks.
