Behind the Scenes Tour of the Ogden Museum of Southern Art

Curator, David Houston and Preparator, Richard McCabe toured our group though the Ogden Museum this afternoon. The museum had an extraordinary exhibition of the work of Jerry Uelsmann and Maggie Taylor on display, a great three room permanent collection exhibition, and a room full of Robert Polidori's work from After the Flood. When we reached this room, they pulled work that Richard had culled from the permanent collection for just us to see. Here we were enjoying a preview of the Elliot Erwit exhibition currently being prepared for exhibition. He also treated us to a wonderful portfolio of William Eggleston prints, and some other rarities from the collection.
