Albright-Knox Art Museum- Visit # 2

c





The Exhibit was the Albright- Knox Art Museum. The theme was of the exhibit I think was very Historical yet Artistic( naturally). It gave a high class feeling being in there.
The lighting in the gallery was normal by my standards I would say. It was the perfect lighting to see every aspect of every piece of art. It was bright, but not to bright. There was no glares produced from the lighting. The colors used on the walls were a plain white for the most part. Upstairs there was a room where there was a pale light blue used. Materials used in the interior architecture of the gallery I guess were of normal dry wall, sealed and painted. It had all the materials used in the individual artworks as well. There were many sculptures throughout. The hallways were not over crowded by any means. The hallways kept it wide open so that every view of a artwork was in great space, and let you focus on just that one piece at a time. The movement was easy and easy to navigate through. The elevator to the second level is kind of hidden but following the map it was easily accessible. The artworks are lined though out the walls at just about the same height. It allowed your eyes to stay at one level throughout the tour going from piece to piece with the exception of the sculptures in various areas. The artworks were usually in a gold colored frame, in classical condition. The canvas painting however were no framed and were of various scales. Next to each piece of were there was a small plaque with the artists, name, year, title of work, the media used, and who the piece was donated by and when. There was approximately 5-10 feet between each art piece. In some areas it was a little bit more depending on what kind of art it was. Most of the framed works were of that.
