Don’t be alarmed! The Nelson-Atkins is not being invaded by creatures from outer space. In preparation for the re-opening of the Kansas City Sculpture Park on September 30, many of the objects are getting a little extra attention.
Artist Ursula von Ryndingsvard gave a personal touch to her sculpture Three Bowls. The Nelson-Atkins conservators worked with the artist’s team to shim cracks in the cedar wood, apply protective coatings and refresh the graphite patina.
