Deinstallation of the ND Mural

When you next visit Plains Art Museum, you may notice a change. The North Dakota Mural, created by renowned artist James Rosenquist (born in Grand Forks, North Dakota), is no longer on display in the Ruth and Seymour Landfield Atrium. The mural, which measures 13 x 24 feet and was installed in 2010, remains safe and sound within the Museum's permanent collection.
The removal of the mural, a collaborative effort by our staff, was necessary to clean and conserve the painting as well as to make way for an exciting new project. We are repainting the entire atrium wall to make way for a large-scale installation by Anne Labovitz. This installation will be part of the upcoming exhibition Convergence: Health & Creativity, New Work by Anne Labovitz, which opens on November 16th.
Plains Art Museum is open seven days a week with free general admission. Learn more at plainsart.org.
