  Looking Back and Ahead to a NEU Year

  Though its doors may have been closed to the public this semester, the Neuberger Museum team has remained quite busy transitioning programming to a virtual format and ensuring that the art collection and employees are safe. For my final blog post, I would like to give you a behind the scenes look at what it takes to operate a museum during a pandemic, while tackling major construction projects, and preparing for new exhibitions and visitors next semester.

  A Peek Into the Collection: Irene Rice Pereira

  For the next two NEU Student Voices blog posts, art history master’s student and Neuberger Museum Archival Research Fellow Rem Ribeiro joins me in examining objects in Roy R. Neuberger’s permanent collection.
  
  Most but certainly not all of the artists whose work Mr. Neuberger collected were Caucasian males. For our project we chose works by two trailblazing female artists. We started by looking at pieces by Irene Rice Pereira, an abstract painter and philosopher who played a major role in developing Modernism in America.
