For most of the summer, one wing of the Phoenix Art Museum has been closed for some major repairs and a remodel. It was reopened on November 28th and I finally made it yesterday to see the changes. I was very impressed. The wing has been named after the museum's Director Emeritus James K. Ballinger. The wing houses American Art, Latin Art and European Art and the current exhibit features pieces from the museum's original collection along with contemporary works.
There was one gallery dedicated to the works of Ed Mell, a native of Phoenix and well known southwestern artist who passed away last year. Most of the works in this gallery were from his studio and have never been on display before. It was wonderful. I'll have more photos in the future.
