Cobalt Rain

2010

Physical Qualities Glass beads, metal, clay, fiber, wood, 45 1/2 x 11 x 8 1/2 in. (115.6 x 27.9 x 21.6 cm.)
Credit Line Alice and Franklin Cooley Fund; and partial gift of Goya Contemporary, Baltimore
Object Number 2014.11
Nov 9, 2023 Update CDownie Conservation travel notes from 3/1/2017 indicate the following "The piece is a wall-mounted work. It hangs from 2 metal loops on the back of the piece" ***************************************************************************************** The work hangs on wall screws from 2 beaded hooks on verso *** Per Amy Raehse, email, 1/31/2014: The work has two beaded hooks (verso) for installation. The hooks distribute the weight evenly to securely hold the work in place. If I recall correctly, one hook is located on the verso of the figure's neck area, while the other is also on the verso, somewhere more toward the torso. Upon arrival, it should be quite straightforward. Should you find that the installation mechanism fails to meet the BMA's standard, I am certain Joyce would bead an additional mechanism. Please simply advise and I will arrange for this adaptation. Last, the figure may be adjusted with a gentle "push." Should you find the packaging has caused the figure to slump, please do not be alarmed. You may make small adjustments with ease because of the material's forgiving nature.
