Vizcaya Museum and Gardens

The Vizcaya Museum and Gardens in Miami, FL will use grant funds to treat 42 works of art on paper collected by the estate's creator, James Deering, in the 1910s. Ranging from Japanese woodcuts to Art Nouveau lithographs, etchings, and watercolor prints, the works will be cleaned, treated for tears and stains, removed from their backings, and placed in archival storage boxes. The treatment and stabilization will allow museum staff and scholars to do much needed research on the works for future exhibits, both at the museum and digitally on the museum's Web site.
